Daniel Goldman, a former federal prosecutor who led the questioning of witnesses in the House Intelligence Committee’s impeachment proceedings against U.S. President Donald Trump, said Sunday that he had tested positive for the coronavirus.
Goldman, who worked under committee chairman Adam Schiff, said on Twitter that he was almost fully recovered after dealing with flu-like symptoms but that he was exasperated with the obstacles he faced in getting tested despite showing symptoms and testing negative for the flu.
The lack of readily available testing for the coronavirus “underscores how shockingly unprepared this administration is to deal with this pandemic,” wrote Goldman, a former federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York.
Goldman said New York City hospitals had declined to test his wife, even though she was showing similar symptoms, unless she was admitted to the hospital.
