Judge Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump’s newly-picked Supreme Court nominee, tested negative for COVID-19 on Friday, the White House said. President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump announced that they had tested positive for COVID-19 early on Friday morning. 

The White House confirmed that Judge Barrett has not been in contact with the president since her nomination ceremony last Saturday, and that she continues to follow guidelines from the CDC.

NEW: WH spokesman Judd Deere says Judge Amy Coney Barrett tested NEGATIVE for COVID-19 today & hasn't been with POTUS since Saturday's ceremony.

The president and first lady are expected to quarantine in the White House. President Trump is reportedly experiencing “mild symptoms.”

I just have this feeling that the Trump’s positive test may have been a false one and he’ll test negative in a day or two. Like DeWine.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised that Trump’s test was a false positive. The “medical” community has been infiltrated with leftist Nazi’s like every other institution.
