(CNSNews.com) - A White House official who was vaccinated against COVID-19 and an aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) both tested positive for breakthrough infection after having contact with a group of Texas Democrats who fled the state and traveled to Washington, D.C, to avoid a vote on a GOP-backed voter integrity bill.
Six of those lawmakers, who have been fully vaccinated, tested positive for COVID-19.
