Jenna Ellis, one of the lead attorneys in Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results has tested positive for coronavirus.
According to Axios, the White House is now concerned about yet another super spreader event since Ellis attended a holiday party there last Friday.
Ellis was the guest of Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro at the White House senior staff party in the East Wing on Friday. She wasn’t wearing a mask, sources who attended the indoor event told Axios.

“She had the nerve to show up at the senior staff Christmas party knowing everyone was furious with her for constantly stirring Trump up with nonsense,” a senior administration official said.
Ellis’ positive test comes days after another attorney on Trump’s legal team Rudy Giuliani tested positive for coronavirus. The two traveled together to Arizona, Pennsylvania and Michigan in recent days, peddling their baseless claims of widespread voter fraud that they argue would change the outcome of the election, according to the Hill. They have get to produce a shred of evidence to support this and all of their cases so far were dismissed by the courts.
