Attorney General William Barr was to be tested for COVID-19 on July 29 after coming in contact with Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), who tested positive for the CCP virus, Justice Department (DOJ) spokesperson Kerri Kupec told reporters.
Barr had been in close contact with Gohmert on July 28, during a visit to Congress to testify for hours before the House Judiciary Committee. At one point, the two men were seen walking in close proximity prior to entering the hearing room, according to a video posted by a reporter. Neither was wearing a mask at that time.
