Trump adviser overseeing campaign legal challenges gets coronavirus, sources say
Bossie did not immediately respond to a request for comment. He has been in the campaign headquarters in Virginia several times in the last week and has also traveled extensively.
Bossie, 55, is the president of the conservative nonprofit Citizens United. He previously served as a deputy campaign manager on Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
Bossie and Carson were among several individuals in Trump’s orbit to have tested positive following public, campaign-related events.
People in the 50-to-64 age range, such as Bossie, face four times greater risk of hospitalization and 30 times greater risk of death from coronavirus than individuals age 18 to 29, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Men are more likely than women to suffer severe illness or die from coronavirus, according to the CDC.
