Two More Campaign Staffers Test Positive for Virus after Rally in Tulsa

Two more campaign staffers on President Donald Trump's advance team have tested positive for coronavirus, after attending his rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Saturday. Trump's campaign announced it on Monday. The total number of staff in Trump's circle to test positive is now at ten, that includes eight staffers and two secret service agents. 

The White House is defending Trump's "Kung Flu" comments in regards to Covid-19.  He used the racist term during his rally Saturday night, saying Covid-19 had more names than any other disease. The White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany claimed Trump's comment was not racist. During a press conference on Monday, she said Trump was only pointing to the origin of the disease, China. 

Family and friends have been saying their final goodbyes to Rayshard Brooks. Monday, several gathered at the Mistorque Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. A spokesperson for the church says, the Brooks family asked Atlanta Police not to be involved in the security for the event. A private security team escorted the hearse instead. 

The Fulton County medical examiner's office released Brook's cause of death. The autopsy report revealed he died from gunshot wounds to the back. Toxicology reports are still pending.
