A Tennessee pastor tested positive for COVID-19 one week after meeting with Trump and administration officials at the White House

Reverend Perry Cleek, the pastor who attended an event at the White House with President Trump and other officials on July 13, tested positive for COVID-19 a week after the meeting occurred.

The pastor started experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 on July 21, the website for CBS and ABC Tennessee affiliate WJHL-TV first reported. A pastor from northeastern Tennessee who met with President Donald Trump and other administration officials at the White House on July 13 started experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 and tested positive for the virus one week later.

The White House invited Rev. Cleek to the event after his $1,000 donations to police officers in his community drew media attention around the country. Rev. Cleek also said he was never "close" to President Trump while attending the event. A video of the event broadcast on C-SPAN shows he was sitting next to A.G. Barr.
