Rudy Giuliani has tested positive for Covid-19.

The news was confirmed by Donald Trump himself, who tweeted on Sunday night:

As reported by the Associated Press, Trump's personal attorney and former mayor of New York City has tested positive for the coronavirus after spending recent weeks traveling extensively to battleground states in an effort to subvert the President's election loss.

The 76-year-old is the latest official in Trump's inner-circle to test positive for the disease.

Per Fox News, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, senior adviser Hope Hicks, and chief of staff Mark Meadows are just a few of the President's closest associates who have tested positive for the virus. They have all since recovered.

Earlier on Sunday (December 6), Guiliani appeared in good spirits when he appeared on Fox's Sunday Morning Futures, where he was interviewed via satellite by Maria Bartiromo over the Trump campaign's legal strategy.

The news also comes just two weeks after the 76-year-old's son, Andrew Giuliani, tested positive for Covid-19.

Taking to Twitter to reveal the news, the younger Giuliani wrote: "This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19.

"I am experiencing mild symptoms, and am following all appropriate protocols, including being in quarantine and conducting contact tracing."
