(CNN) Attorney General William Barr is choosing not to quarantine after recently coming in close contact with members of President Donald Trump's inner circle who have tested positive for Covid-19, including former White House counselor Kellyanne Conway. Barr, who was seen leaving the White House Friday night by photojournalists, also attended the nomination event, where he sat in the front row and was among those tested by the White House for Covid-19. Following Trump's announcement, Barr and Conway chatted in close proximity, hardly standing the recommended six feet apart, for an extended period of time. Barr then traveled to Oklahoma for a tribal justice event this week and returned to Washington. Trump Cabinet members were tested for coronavirus after the President announced early Friday that he and first lady Melania Trump had tested positive for Covid-19.
