Rudy’s son, 34, a Trump aide, has bug

- Chris Sommerfeld­t

Rudy Giuliani’s adult son revealed Friday that he has tested positive for COVID-19 — the latest White House staffer to come down with the respirator­y virus.

Andrew Giuliani, 34, who works as a public liaison assistant at the White House, announced his diagnosis in a tweet the day after his father was seen sweating profusely during a bizarre press conference in Washington, D.C.

“This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19,” the Giuliani son (inset) tweeted. “I am experienci­ng mild symptoms, and am following all appropriat­e protocols, including being in quarantine and conducting contact tracing.”

It was not imiately clear if Giuliani has recently been in contact with his 76-year-old father.

The elder Giuliani did not immediatel­y return a request for comment.

Rudy Giuliani, who’s spearheadi­ng President Trump’s long-shot attempt to overturn Joe Biden’s election, sweated so much during an unruly press conference Thursday that he had to keep dabbing his face with a napkin. Giuliani did not wear a mask during the press availabili­ty, which was called to amplify Trump’s baseless claim that Democrats rigged the election for Biden.

Andrew Giuliani joins a long list of Trump White House staffers who have tested positive for the virus that includes chief of staff Mark Meadows and senior adviser Hope Hicks.
