Trump adviser overseeing campaign legal challenges gets coronavirus, sources say

Source: CNN

(CNN)An adviser for President Donald Trump's campaign, David Bossie, has tested positive for coronavirus only days after he was tapped to oversee the campaign's legal challenges contesting the outcome of the election, two sources confirmed to CNN.

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.

According to a tweet from another Trump political adviser, Corey Lewandowski, Bossie traveled to a Trump rally in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on November 2 aboard Air Force One. Lewandowski shared a photo of the cabin that included former Republican National Committee Chair Reince Preibus and first daughter Tiffany Trump seated at the table with Bossie. No one in the photo wore a mask.

His bad-acting goes way back. He was suspected of hacking Democratic staffers' computers when he worked in the House, before he was kicked out. You have to be some kind of low dirtball for Gingrich to cut you loose.

Later in the 1990s, Bossie had a troubled turn as congressional investigator. Bossie was hired by the chairman of the House Committee on Government Reform and new Oversight in 1997 as chief investigator to look into possible campaign finance abuses by U.S. President Bill Clinton.[6] In May 1998, bipartisan concern mounted over inappropriate redaction of tapes and transcripts of former U.S. Associate AG Webster Hubbell's prison telephone calls omitting some exculpatory passages. Newt Gingrich pressed for Bossie's resignation which followed shortly thereafter.[7][8]
