Trump says personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani tested positive for COVID-19

U.S. President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, Trump said on Twitter on Sunday.

Giuliani, 76, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The former New York mayor has been spearheading Trump's floundering effort to overturn his Nov. 3 election loss to Democratic president-elect Joe Biden through a flurry of lawsuits.

That work has taken Giuliani to various U.S. states, such as Michigan and Arizona, where he has been urging state lawmakers to stop certification of Biden's win.CBC
