Rep. Louie Gohmert, who often went without a mask, tests positive for coronavirus

Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, who has refused to wear a face mask, tested positive for the coronavirus Wednesday shortly before he was expected to travel with President Donald Trump to Texas. The Texas Republican attended Attorney General William Barr’s hearing before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, sitting for hours in a hearing room with dozens of other lawmakers. Gohmert, along with other Republicans, was seen at times during the day without a mask.  Gohmert was also seen standing in proximity to Barr in the Capitol hallway while neither he nor Barr wore a face mask.
