Mike Lee, a key ally of President Donald Trump's who met Tuesday with Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, has tested positive for the coronavirus, the Utah senator revealed Friday.The news, just the latest jarring news on a day of coronavirus bombshells, immediately threw the Senate GOP's intense confirmation schedule for the Supreme Court into doubt.Lee is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and met its members on Wednesday for a hearing with James Comey.As well as the possibility that its members - two of whom are 87 - may be advised to quarantine, the Senate has not voted on whether the SCOTUS nominee's hearings can be held remotely.
