All right, thank you very much, Anderson.

I am Chris Cuomo.

Welcome to prime time.

As you just heard, we have breaking news on COVID.

CNN sources say another one of the president's closest aides, actually the closest aid to

date has tested positive for coronavirus.

It is his advisor, Hope Hicks, and she traveled with Trump to and from the debate on Tuesday

and also to his rally in Minnesota yesterday.

This has traveled with the president multiple times this week.

This video was taken yesterday.

You see Trump getting on Marine One and about 30 seconds later, you'll see Hope Hicks

following behind wearing a tan coat.

This is still the video will keep rolling at whatever point they're able to make it

roll.

Here is the White House statement on this.

The president takes the health and safety of himself and everyone who works in support

of him and the American people very seriously.

White House operations collaborates with the physician to the president and the White

House military office to ensure all plans and procedures incorporate current CDC guidance

and best practices for limiting COVID-19 exposure to the greatest extent possible both on

complex and when the president is traveling.

That is a lot of words to explain away what we know.
