Revelations in former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows’s book alleges that Donald Trump failed to disclose a positive COVID-19 test before a 2020 debate with then-candidate Joe Biden now has the Trump family, including Melania, under the microscope. Meadows recalls in the book that though he knew each candidate was required “to test negative for the virus within seventy-two hours of the start time … Nothing was going to stop [Trump] from going out there.” Greg Sargent wrote in The Washington Post that this isn’t just about Trump, but it “also implicates members of Trump’s family, including Melania Trump and Donald Trump Jr.”

“That’s because multiple people around Trump, including his wife, Melania Trump, and his kids Donald Jr. and Eric, all sat maskless at the Sept. 29 debate, according to contemporaneous reports, despite the fact that debate attendees were required to wear masks,” Sargent writes. “As numerous reporters personally witnessed at the time, Trump’s family members did this after rebuffing a direct request to mask up from a doctor with the Cleveland Clinic, which helped organize the debate. That doctor even offered them masks, and they declined.”

Trump called those details in Meadows’s book “fake news,” but that’s been confirmed.

“Multiple news organizations, including The Post, have now confirmed from former Trump aides that he tested positive for coronavirus on Sept. 26, 2020, three days before his Sept. 29 debate with Joe Biden,” the report continues. “So he had reason to believe he might have been infected heading into the debate.”

“…Trump was apparently told he was potentially contagious, and he even appeared potentially symptomatic, even as Trump roared into the debate as if the opposite were true,” Sargent continues. “If this is right, then what happened at the debate is even worse than you thought.”

“That’s because multiple people around Trump, including his wife, Melania Trump, and his kids Donald Jr. and Eric, all sat maskless at the Sept. 29 debate, according to contemporaneous reports, despite the fact that debate attendees were required to wear masks,” the report adds.

Ah, yes, I remember this:

What a disgrace.
