WASHINGTON — President Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, has told associates he has coronavirus, according to people familiar with the matter, adding to the outbreaks connected to the White House. It wasn’t immediately clear when Meadows learned he had contracted the virus or whether he had developed symptoms of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus. He informed a close circle of advisers after Tuesday’s election, one of the people said. Meadows didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment. White House spokespeople didn’t respond to numerous emails and phone messages requesting comment. At least four low-level White House aides and a senior Trump campaign aide, Nick Trainer, are also infected, according to people familiar with the matter. Trainer and campaign spokespeople declined to comment. Meadows has remained involved in Trump’s postelection effort to challenge votes in several states where he trails former Vice President Joe Biden, according to one person familiar with the matter.
