Trump says staffer tested positive for COVID-19 but was 'not near' him
U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said a White House staffer tested positive for COVID-19 but the individual was not "near" him or "associated with" him.

"It was not anybody that was near me," Trump said at a press conference.

"It was one person," Trump added. "It was not a person that I was associated with."

The press briefing came one day after Trump met with three world leaders at the White House to sign a Middle East peace accord.
