Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) tested positive for the COVID-19 China coronavirus Wednesday, prompting the Justice Department to announce Attorney General William Barr will get tested after being in contact with Gohmert at Tuesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing.
Gohmert was tested at the White House for screening to fly with President Trump to Texas. Gohmert did not take the trip. Gohmert was seen walking with Barr outside the hearing Tuesday, with reporters observing the two talking without wearing masks.
“Kerri Kupec, a DOJ spokeswoman, says AG Barr will be tested for covid-19 today. He and Louie Gohmert were in close proximity because of yesterday’s Judiciary Committee hearing.”

“Rep. Gohmert, who was without a mask, stood outside the men’s bathroom where Barr went before he walked into the “hearing” room. Once out, Gohmert approached the AG and exchanged a comment or two. Would say from memory, they were within arms length.”

ACTUALLY… here is a video of AG Barr and Gohmert.
While Barr arrived with a mask, it was off when he walked into the hearing room, so both men were not wearing masks at this time. pic.twitter.com/xm6wuq6QvW

“This news is sure to anger his House colleagues. Gohmert has walked around Cap Hill without a mask. I only saw him putting it on during the Barr hearing, which he was required to do if he wasn’t speaking.”
