Trump campaign adviser says White House didn't call him for contact tracing following Hicks' positive test Trump 2020 campaign senior adviser Corey Lewandowski, who attended Wednesday's rally in Minnesota with the president just hours before Hope Hicks tested positive, told ABC's"Good Morning America" Saturday morning that he was not contacted following Hicks' positive diagnosis despite being in close contact.
"Prior to going into the event everybody had to produce a negative COVID test which they did," he said."I did not hear from the White House after Hope Hicks tested positive on any type of contact tracing -- but I went and got a test yesterday and had the results come back negative."Corey Lewandowski on"Good Morning America," Oct. 3, 2020. Lewandowski also attended Saturday's Rose Garden event for Judge Amy Coney Barrett and made a point to say how some notable Republicans who have tested positive -- including Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel and Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien -- have contracted the virus and were not present then.Asked if he thinks Trump's tone about masks and White House protocols will change now with the positive diagnosis, Lewandowski defended the White House protocols but said the question is,"What more can we do?""I do know that the protocols when you go to the White House require everybody to be tested, whether you're going to see the president or you're going into the West Wing or not. Every person who goes onto that complex is tested when they come onto that complex, and I think that's a smart decision, but we have to ask ourselves, 'What more can we do?'" Lewandowski said. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, also an ABC News Contributor, who helped prepare the president for Tuesday's debate, said he was also not contacted about Hicks positive test but found out through news reports.
