Top White House aide Stephen Miller tests positive for Covid-19

(CNN)Stephen Miller, a top aide to President Donald Trump, has tested positive for coronavirus, he said Tuesday.

"Over the last 5 days I have been working remotely and self-isolating, testing negative every day through yesterday. Today, I tested positive for COVID-19 and am in quarantine," Miller said in a statement.

He is the latest official caught up in an outbreak at the White House that has seen at least 10 others test positive.

Miller's wife, Katie Miller, is Vice President Mike Pence's communications director. She already had coronavirus several months ago and tested negative again on Tuesday morning. She traveled with Pence to Salt Lake City ahead of the vice presidential debate scheduled for Wednesday, but left the trip Tuesday out of an abundance of caution, per an official.

The virus attacked one of most evil soulless individuals that has ever walked the planet. Miller will just hate the virus away.
