WASHINGTON&mdash; President Donald Trump&rsquo;s former adviser Kellyanne Conway said late Friday that she has tested positive for the coronavirus, days after attending a White House event with several others who have since come down with COVID-19.
				Conway tweeted Friday that she has a &ldquo;light cough&rdquo; and is &ldquo;feeling fine.&rdquo; &ldquo;I have begun a quarantine process in consultation with physicians,&rdquo; she added.
				Conway attended the Rose Garden announcement Saturday where President Donald Trump announced his nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Among the attendees, Republican Sens. Mike Lee and Thom Tillis, the president of the University of Notre Dame, as well as Trump himself tested positive Friday for the coronavirus.
				In other news, Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina has tested positive for the coronavirus.
				Tillis said in a statement Friday night that his rapid antigen test showed that he is infected. He issued the statement as President Donald Trump was being treated at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for the same illness.
				Tillis, who is up for reelection in November, is the latest person to be diagnosed with the infection after attending the Supreme Court nomination ceremony in the White House Rose Garden for Amy Coney Barrett. Tillis was wearing a mask at the ceremony.
				He is the second member of the Senate Judiciary Committee to test positive. Just a few hours earlier, Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah announced that he, too, is infected.
				Tillis is routinely seen on Capitol Hill wearing a mask. He says he has no symptoms but will be isolating.
