While NBC News and other outlets have projected that Biden defeated Trump in the presidential race, the president has refused to concede and is falsely claiming himself the winner.
The campaign has filed lawsuits in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Georgia and Arizona — all states where Biden either leads Trump or is projected to win.
The legal challenges come as the number of Covid-19 cases reported in the U.S. hits record highs. More than 10.41 million cases have been reported in the U.S. and at least 241,907 people have died, according to Johns Hopkins University data.
Lewandowski, who was Trump’s campaign manager in 2016, is only the latest person in Trump’s orbit to have contracted the virus.
Just this week, multiple people who are with connected to Trump’s campaign or had attended an in-person, indoors election night party at the White House have tested positive for Covid-19.
That group includes David Bossie, who was recently put in charge of leading Trump’s effort to challenge the projected results of the presidential election after NBC and other outlets called it for Biden.
On Wednesday, it was revealed that two more people who attended the White House gathering — White House political director Brian Jack and former Trump aide Healy Baumgardner — also tested positive.
Lewandowski was also present at the White House on election night.
