Stephen Miller, one of President Trump's senior advisers and the architect of his administration's hardline immigration policies, announced on Tuesday he has contracted the coronavirus.
"Over the last five days, I have been working remotely and self-isolating, testing negative every day through yesterday," Miller said in a statement. "Today, I tested positive for COVID-19 and am in quarantine." Miller's wife, Katie Miller, is Vice President Mike Pence's press secretary, and she tested positive for the virus in May.
