An attendee of a conservative conference where President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence spoke last week has tested positive for the coronavirus, according to the event’s organizer.

The organizer, the American Conservative Union, which hosts the annual Conservative Political Action Conference outside Washington, D.C., said the attendee was exposed to the virus before the four-day event and tested positive for it on Saturday.

“This attendee had no interaction with the president or the vice president and never attended the events in the main hall,” the group said in a statement. “The Trump administration is aware of the situation, and we will continue regular communication with all appropriate government officials.”

The attendee has been quarantined in New Jersey, the statement said.

Mr. Trump said on Saturday that he was not worried that the infections seemed to be getting closer to the White House.

“No, I’m not concerned at all, no,” he told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, where he was spending the weekend.

He said he had no plans to curtail his campaign rallies even though other large gatherings of people were being canceled across the country.

“We’re going to have tremendous rallies,” he said.

Praising health officials for a “fantastic job,” he added, “We’ve had tremendous cooperation with other countries and all over the world and we’ve made it very, very tough, very strong, stringent borders.”

Stephanie Grisham, the White House press secretary, said in a statement that there was “no indication that either President Trump or Vice President Pence met with or were in close proximity to the attendee.”

“The president’s physician and United States Secret Service have been working closely with White House staff and various agencies to ensure every precaution is taken to keep the first family and the entire White House complex safe and healthy,” Ms. Grisham said.

Others who spoke at the conference included Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia. Also in attendance were Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and adviser, and Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son.

Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland said in a statement that state health officials were informed by the New Jersey Department of Health that the person who tested positive for the virus was in Maryland from Feb. 27 to March 1, attending the conference in National Harbor.

The statement said those who attended or worked at the conference “may be at some risk” for contracting the virus.

“Due to the scale of this conference, we are urging attendees who are experiencing flulike symptoms to immediately reach out to their health care provider,” Mr. Hogan said.

The American Conservative Union said the event drew thousands.

The group’s chairman, Matt Schlapp, said he had had “incidental interaction with the person,” and added, “I feel bad for my friend who is in the hospital.”

“We’ve talked to him,” Mr. Schlapp said. “He sounds very good.”

At the conference, Mr. Trump gave his administration good grades for its handling of the coronavirus outbreak, while his acting chief of staff at the time, Mick Mulvaney, said in a separate speech that journalists were hyping the coronavirus because “they think this will bring down the president.”

Mr. Mulvaney also minimized concerns over the virus.

“The flu kills people,” he said. “This is not Ebola. It’s not SARS, it’s not MERS. It’s not a death sentence; it’s not the same as the Ebola crisis.”

Founded in 1974, CPAC was for years a major gathering where libertarians and establishment Republicans mingled with fringe conservative activists. This year, the theme of the conference was “America vs. Socialism,” and it turned into a stage for Mr. Trump and his top advisers and allies to fire up his base and market-test messages for the 2020 presidential election.

Republicans who have broken with the president and his agenda, like Senator Mitt Romney of Utah, were disinvited from the conference, and the mention of Mr. Romney’s name by one conservative speaker elicited boos from the audience.

ASSISTANT U.S. Attorney Eric O’Malley said the U.S. government is not required to produce official witness reports, “let alone the rough notes that assisted the drafting of those reports” under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16(a)(2).

In response to the request of Rota Mayor Efraim Atalig and co-defendant Evelyn Atalig to produce Federal Bureau of Investigation and Office of the Public Auditor witnesses interview notes, O’Malley said the law does not require such production and because they are rough notes.

“They did not record the witnesses’ verbatim statements but merely pointers to refresh an investigator’s memory when they write their official report,” O’Malley said, referring to the FBI and OPA.

He said the prosecution has reviewed the notes relating to the interviews with investigators and found no inconsistencies.

However, to give assurance to the defense, he said the U.S. government does not object to, and hereby requests, an in-camera comparison of the notes and the accompanying reports.

The Ataligs have asked the federal court to order the prosecution to produce FBI and OPA interview notes, or at least conduct a review to determine whether they should be produced and, if warranted, filed under seal as they contain sensitive information.

The Ataligs also requested the U.S. government to produce copies of plea agreements and other documents showing promises or understanding of non-prosecution of the mayor’s co-defendants in the CNMI case.

The defendants are also seeking “personnel files, disciplinary actions, and investigation reports of government agents who investigated the case including without limitation FBI agents Michael A. Gadsden and Haejun Park, and OPA investigators Travis A. Hurst and Josue Genesis C. Cruz.”

O’Malley conceded that there was derogatory information in one of the FBI’s agents personnel file, but added that the court should factor the passage of time and the agent’s intervening years of exemplary service in weighing whether the described conduct is still relevant to the agent’s credibility.

He did not identify the agent.

As for the defendants’ other requests, O’Malley asked the court to allow the U.S. government to submit the documents ex-parte and under seal because “the content of the documents effectively discloses information it believes is not discoverable so service to the defense or public disclosure would defeat that purpose.”

In Sept. 2018, Mayor Atalig was charged with one count of wire fraud for attending a Guam political rally while on a government-funded trip.

In Nov. 2018, the U.S. government filed a superseding indictment against the mayor and his girlfriend, Evelyn Atalig. They were charged with conspiracy, wire fraud, theft from program receiving federal funds, and two counts of false statements.

The Ataligs’ federal trial will start on March 10, 2020 at 10 a.m.

In Superior Court, Mayor Atalig and seven of his resident directors are accused of taking government- funded per diem and salary compensation to attend a Republican Party rally on Guam on June 23, 2018.

Their local jury trial will begin in may 2020

FBI executes search Friday U.S. Attorney’s Office still working on materials that FBI seized The FBI confirmed there was a raid on Saipan last Friday, but refused to comment about the specific location. The Federal Bureau of Investigation in Honolulu affirmed over the weekend that its agents executed a search warrant on Saipan last Friday.

In his reply to inquiry about a reported raid, FBI media coordinator/special agent Jason K. White said he can confirm that the FBI executed a search warrant on Saipan Friday, but declined to comment further.

A Guam-based online website first reported that a house was raided Friday by the FBI and the Office of the Public Auditor. The subject of the raid is allegedly a former CIA secret agent

The website posted a photo showing a man wearing an OPA jacket talking to someone, while a woman was standing next to the door

We checked the house last Friday past 11am, but did not notice any FBI or OPA agents there. A resident and a maintenance personnel said they did not notice any FBI agents there that morning.

An employee said no FBI agents went to their office.

It is lclear the FBI indeed searched one of the units earlier that day and then left.

Meanwhile, a source disclosed over the weekend that the U.S. Attorney’s Office is still working through the materials that the FBI seized (not Friday’s raid) in connection with its ongoing investigation against the former CIA secret agent and several other persons.

The source said documents are being provided to the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office per the subpoena to all the people covered in the investigation.

Grand Princess cruise remains in limbo, waiting to dock, with 21 coronavirus cases
MORGAN HINES | USA TODAY | 38 minutes ago

Vice President Pence and members of the coronavirus task force hold a press conference to discuss the coronavirus outbreak and the Grand Princess.
USA TODAY
The more than 3,500 people on Princess Cruises’ Grand Princess remained in limbo Saturday morning as they awaited further information on when and where the cruise ship will dock, after 21 people aboard tested positive for coronavirus.

In California, state authorities were working with federal officials around-the-clock to bring the ship to a non-commercial port over the weekend and test everyone for the virus. There was no immediate word on where the vessel will dock.

Passengers on the ship said Friday night that the captain has notified them they are moving to a location 20 miles off the coast for easier delivery of supplies. The captain said a guest requires medical attention and may be airlifted out, the passengers said, the Associated Press and KCRA 3, a Sacramento based television station.

While health officials said about 1,100 crew members will remain aboard, passengers could be disembarked to face quarantine, possibly at U.S. military bases or other sites. That’s what happened to hundreds of passengers who were exposed to the virus on another Princess Cruises ship, the Diamond Princess, in January.

In his most recent comments about the ship, President Donald Trump, speaking Friday at the U.S. Centers for to Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, said he would prefer not to allow the passengers onto American soil but will defer to the recommendations of medical experts.

“I don’t need to have the numbers (of U.S. cases) double because of one ship that wasn’t our fault,” Trump said in a Fox News interview. “And it wasn’t the fault of the people on the ship either. OK? It wasn’t their fault either. And they are mostly American, so I can live either way with it.”

Speaking at the White House on Friday evening, Vice President Mike Pence said that 46 people aboard the ship, which was being held off the coast of California, had been tested for coronavirus. Of those, 24 were negative and one of the tests was inconclusive. Pence said that of the 21 who tested positive, 19 were crew members and two were passengers.

“Those that will need to be quarantined will be quarantined. Those who will require medical help will receive it,” Pence said. .

Princess Cruises said the ship is providing food and beverages via room service, offering free Internet and telephone service for passengers to stay in contact with families and working with the CDC to determine if additional precautionary measures are needed. The cruise line’s medical team also is collecting information from guests regarding prescription refill needs.

The company announced Wednesday those on board may have been exposed to coronavirus after sailing with 62 passengers who officials say had previously been on the ship’s Mexico voyage with a 71-year-old California man who eventually died from the virus.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advised guests stay in their rooms starting Thursday but had not declared a quarantine, according to a Thursday statement from Princess Cruises provided by spokesperson Alivia Owyoung Ender.

A Coast Guard helicopter lowered test kits onto the 951-foot Grand Princess by rope Thursday.

As of Saturday morning, coronavirus had infected more than 102,000 people globally and killed 3,491, according to Johns Hopkins data.

More cases related to Grand Princess continue to emerge

As passengers remained on the Grand Princess, more cases connected to the ship came to light.

The Associated Press reports that the ship "was the breeding ground for a deadly cluster of 10 cases during an earlier voyage."

Carson City Health and Human Services in Nevada confirmed on Friday that it is also monitoring "a few" individuals in its jurisdiction who have ties to the Grand Princess cruise ship.

“In many respects, our ships are small floating cities. Just as life happens in cities for good and for bad, life also happens onboard our ships," Princess Cruises’ president Jan Swartz said in a video posted to Twitter Friday morning.

Diamond Princess cruise ship coronavirus quarantine lifted
Princess Cruises also owns the Diamond Princess, the ship that was quarantined in Yokohama, Japan, and experienced a coronavirus outbreak that infected nearly 700 passengers. Six have died.

“We learned a lot from our recent experience in Japan, and we are taking those lessons into account as we continue to support our fleet and our guests," Swartz said in the video on Twitter.

On social media, the cruise line was busy replying to a myriad of tweets from concerned customers with upcoming cruises, assuring them their bookings could be canceled. Princess is allowing people who have a cruise booked through May 31, 2020, can make changes to their reservations.

Maryland residents tested positive after cruising on Egyptian ship
Meanwhile, three Maryland residents tested positive Thursday for the coronavirus after traveling on an Egyptian cruise on the Nile River, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said on Friday evening.

The married couple in their 70s and an unrelated woman in her 50s, all from Montgomery County, are the first patients to test positive for coronavirus in the state.

"This does appear to be the same cruise ship the World Health Organization (WHO) announced today has 12 workers who have been placed in quarantine for 14 days" after testing positive, said Hogan. "And our three Maryland cases appear to be linked to six confirmed coronavirus cases in Texas."

On Thursday, Texas health departments announced positive coronavirus tests for several Harris County residents who had recently traveled abroad together.

A cruise ship on Egypt’s Nile River with over 150 tourists and local crew was in quarantine Saturday in the southern city of Luxor, after 12 people tested positive for the new coronavirus.

A Taiwanese-American tourist who had previously been on the same ship tested positive when she returned to Taiwan. The World Health Organization informed Egyptian authorities, who tested everyone currently on the ship.

Health authorities found a dozen of the ship’s Egyptian crew members had contracted the fast-spreading virus, but did not show symptoms, according to a statement Friday.

The statement said the 12 will be transferred to isolation in a hospital on Egypt’s north coast. The passengers — who include Americans, French and other nationalities — and the crew will remain quarantined on the ship awaiting further test results.

Egyptian authorities have been tight-lipped about the virus outbreak, previously reporting only three confirmed cases. That’s even as the wider Mideast now has over 6,000 confirmed cases.

Grand Princess coronavirus outbreak keeps passengers in limbo

The 27 most downright odd lines from Donald Trump’s interview with Sean Hannity
Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large
Updated 12:20 PM EST, Thu March 05, 2020

(CNN)Amid criticism of his handling of the coronavirus in the United States, President Donald Trump sought out the comfort of an old friend on Wednesday night, phoning in for an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity.

In the conversation, Trump repeatedly contradicted medical advice on how to best keep the virus from spreading in the United States while engaging in the sorts of boasts and exaggerations about his broader presidency that have become de rigeur for him.

View this interactive content on CNN.com
Below, the lines you need to see.

1. "And as far as Schumer is concerned, it was a terrible thing he said. I was — I was amazed by it. And if that were a Republican, you would see really bad things happening."

Trump is referencing Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer outside the Supreme Court on Wednesday saying, "I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price." Those comments led to a rebuke for Schumer from Chief Justice John Roberts. But before Trump plays the victim too much, let’s remember that he openly questioned the fairness of a federal judge because the judge had a Hispanic surname. And away we go!

2. "So he totally made up a — it was a fake phone call."

Somehow we switched to Democratic House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff and the mock phone call he imagined between Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky during impeachment hearings. It’s an absolute Trump fixation. But here’s the thing: Schiff made very clear before summarizing the phone call that this was paraphrasing, not a direct reenactment. On this hill I will die.

3. "I think Elizabeth Warren, who did terribly last night, but she got enough votes that if Bernie Sanders would have had those votes — and I assume he would have gotten a vast majority, he would have won all of those places — or certainly most of them."

Trump loves to play armchair political pundit, but it’s not clear he’s right here. While there’s no question that Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders share a similar base on the liberal side of the party, it’s far from a sure thing that had she not been in the race Sanders would have beaten former Vice President Joe Biden in lots of states on Super Tuesday. Here’s a sure thing though: Trump boosts the idea that Sanders is the victim of a conspiracy because he wants to boost Sanders’ chances of winning the Democratic nomination, believing that Sanders is his weakest general election opponent.

4. "Now, Joe didn’t work that out, but somebody within that group worked it out. That was smart. But Joe would never be able to do that."

No one loves conspiracy theories more than Trump. So, "somebody" worked out Warren staying in so she would siphon votes from Sanders and allow Biden to win. But that "somebody" wasn’t Biden because he is, in Trump’s mind, not smart enough to do that? OK.

5. "When I say all — all, but a little bit including yourselves and some of the folks on Fox, some of the folks around. You have some great people. You have Rush who’s doing, I hear, really well. I hear he’s doing much better."

Trump started this sentence trying to say that the media was pushing for Biden to be the nominee — for which there is zero evidence. He ended by praising Rush Limbaugh. What a journey!

6. "They put people on that I think are inappropriate and say very, very false things and people don’t challenge them. I think they’re trying to be very politically correct, or fair and balanced, right, is the term."

In which the President criticizes Fox News while on Fox News for not being Fox News-y enough for his taste. (Hannity ignored the criticism.)

7. "That will be a major issue in the campaign. I will bring that up all the time, because I don’t see any way out. I don’t see any way — for them, I don’t see how they can answer those questions."

Trump is referencing the renewed Republican focus on Hunter Biden’s seat on the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian natural gas company. And promising he will make it a "major" issue in the campaign. To be clear: There is no evidence of illegal behavior from either Hunter or Joe Biden regarding Burisma. Hunter Biden has, however, said he exercised "poor judgment" in sitting on the board while his father was vice president.

8. "I would say because he didn’t think he could make it. He didn’t think he had a shot at it."

Political pundit Donald Trump offers his entirely unfounded view of why former President Barack Obama hasn’t endorsed Biden. "We are skeptical that an endorsement coming from us could truly change the political winds right now," a person close to the former president told CNN recently.

9. "I know everybody."

Same.

10. "The largest tax cuts in history."

Nope!

11." Nobody has done more in three years, the first three years, than we have."

Trump makes this claim a lot. And it’s totally uncheckable. Most in terms of what? He neither knows nor cares. He just likes to say it.

12. "We have the cleanest air. We have the cleanest water. Our — our air is as clean or cleaner than it’s ever been."

Again, nope!

13. "And against the advice of a lot of great professionals, frankly, and they worked — they worked for the administration and outside — I — I closed the borders to China."

Trump wants the big takeaway from the coronavirus to be that he was right and the experts (read: nerds) were wrong. So there’s that.

14. "But I closed the borders, against the advice of a lot of people. And it turned out to be a very wise decision."

Like I said …

15. "And I felt we had to do it. And, in one way, I hated to do it statistically. I hated to do it from the standpoint of having people coming in. It’s going to be — is it going to look bad?"

The President of the United States admitting that he didn’t really want to bring Americans who got the coronavirus abroad back to the United States because it would look bad "statistically." Totally normal stuff!

16. "But I have been a big person for, let’s keep it a little bit inside."

I, uh, think he is talking about trade? Or maybe vaccines? I truly don’t know. And I read this quote — and the context around it — a bunch of times.

17. "Well, I think the 3.4% is really a false number. Now, this is just my hunch, and — but based on a lot of conversations with a lot of people that do this, because a lot of people will have this, and it’s very mild."

No big deal — just the President of the United States contradicting the medical community on the mortality rate of coronavirus. What’s he basing his conclusions on? Oh, a "hunch."

18. "So, if we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better."

Uh, some people sick with coronavirus go to work and get better? So, this feels like, um, an unwise thing for the President of the United States to say?

19. "And then, when you do have a death, like you have had in the state of Washington, like you had one in California — I believe you had one in New York."

Of the 11 confirmed US deaths, 10 are in Washington State and one is in California.

20. "So I think that that number is very high. I think the number — personally, I would say the number is way under 1%."

Again, maybe! But the President has no real basis — or at least he isn’t sharing any evidence — for his claims that the current mortality rate for coronavirus is way overblown.

21. "Now, with the regular flu, we average from 27,000 to 77,000 deaths a year. Who would think that? I never knew that, until six or eight weeks ago."

He never knew how many Americans die from the flu? This is my surprised face.

22. "I mean, we have a very large country, to put it mildly, and a great country, by the way. And it’s getting greater all the time."

This answer begins with Trump congratulating himself on the small number of coronavirus cases in our "very large country" and ends with Trump saying that our country is getting greater and greater all the time. Yeah.

23. "He’s surrounded by people that I know, in some cases, I know pretty well. They’re losers. He’s really surrounded by losers."

Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s people? Yeah, Trump knows them. Knows them well. Losers. All of them.

24. "But when Elizabeth Warren went after him, he was saying, get me off this stage. Get me off here fast."

This actually is what Bloomberg probably did think!

25. "He got beat up very badly by Elizabeth Warren. It was not a pretty sight to watch. And that was the end of him. I mean, it’s incredible. It was so bad, that was the end of him. It ended right there."

Not wrong!

26. "And, you know, so many things are happening."

FACT CHECK: True!

27. "Somebody said, you’re the cleanest person in the country."

This feels like a good place to end.
