Iran Press/ America: Meadows, 61, told people after Tuesday's election that he had contracted a COVID-19 patient, but it wasn't clear when he first tested positive, according to the sources. In the past, he has appeared skeptical of coronavirus mitigation measures and has not often been seen wearing a mask.
He traveled by Trump aboard Air Force One during his final campaign swing on Sunday and Monday, accompanied the president on a visit to his campaign headquarters on Tuesday and attended a White House election night party where he came into close contact with members of the President's family. He was not seen wearing a mask during any of those engagements.

Later this week he has been intensely involved in plotting the President's post-election legal strategy and has encouraged the President in his false claims that voter fraud could deprive him of the presidency.
Meadows was on a conference call with the Trump campaign senior legal team and others on the campaign late this week, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
