Kimberly Guilfoyle, a leading fundraiser for US President Donald Trump's re-election campaign and girlfriend of the president’s oldest son, Donald Jr., has tested positive for coronavirus, APA reports citing the New York Times.

According to the newspaper, Guilfoyle had travelled to South Dakota along with Donald Trump Jr. ahead of a planned event at Mount Rushmore on Friday evening.

Guilfoyle is the third official who may have come into contact with the president to test positive for the disease. One of the president’s valets and a spokeswoman for Vice President Mike Pence contracted COVID-19 in May.
