Attorney General William P. Barr, the nation’s top law enforcement officer, has decided not to self-quarantine, despite potential prolonged exposure to the coronavirus. Mr. Barr attended last Saturday’s White House reception for Supreme Court nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett — an event where several attendees later tested positive for the virus, including President Trump; the first lady, Melania Trump; Senator Mike Lee of Utah; Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina; Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor; and the president’s former counselor, Kellyanne Conway. Mr. Barr tested negative for the coronavirus on Friday and Saturday, and will continue to self-monitor and be tested, his spokeswoman said.
