On the 8th (local time), President Trump announced that Katie Miller, Vice President Pence's spokesperson, tested positive for COVID-19. Politico also reported, citing sources, that the infected person was spokesperson Miller.


This immediately sparked controversy in Washington politics. Miller's husband is Stephen Miller, a senior advisor at the White House.


He is considered a key figure in the Trump administration and the architect of Trump's hardline foreign policy. Politico stated that Miller's infection heightened the risk of infection within the White House inner circle.


Politico also reported that since Advisor Miller frequently meets with President Trump's son-in-law and daughter, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, senior advisors at the White House, concerns about infection within the White House have increased.



Advisor Miller is known as a staunch conservative, to the extent that even within the Republican Party, voices of concern have been raised. He is also responsible for writing President Trump's speeches. President Trump's inaugural address was written by him.
