https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/10/07/white-house-security-official-crede-bailey-gravely-ill-covid-19/5918371002/WASHINGTON The head of the White House security office is gravely ill with COVID-19 and has been hospitalized since September, a White House official has confirmed.
Crede Bailey leads the office in charge of credentialing people for access to the White House and works closely with the Secret Service, according to Bloomberg, which was the first to report his illness Wednesday.
According to Bloomberg, Bailey got sick before the Sept. 26 Rose Garden event, where Trump announced his pick of Judge Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court. Several people who attended that event, including President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump, have tested positive for COVID-19.
Trump returned to the White House Monday after spending three days in the hospital to receive treatments for COVID-19.

(20,482 posts)More insidious than Antifa, craftier than Socialists, more evil than Communists...no one is even sure if they have ever even met a member of "The Deep State" until it is too late! One minute they might be checking White House credentials, and the next minute they are traitoriously lying in a hospital bed with a tube down their throat.
Are you even SURE that trump himself is not a member of..."The Deep State"???

(2,449 posts)didn't Trump say that he was going to give the same treatment that he got to everyone for free?

(17,382 posts)This heightens the degree of the cover-up if the WH was aware of staff continuing to be sick prior to Sept 26, yet they continued to host events at the White House without social distancing or masks. Worse, it is unknown how long Trump was infectious, because no one will say when Trump's last negative test even though they bragged that Trump is the most tested individual in the world when it comes to COVID-19.
