LANSING, MI (AP)-- The Michigan House has canceled voting sessions scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday after a staffer tested positive for the coronavirus, complicating the Legislature’s final days of business in the two-year term.
Speaker Lee Chatfield says the employee works with several lawmakers and committees but “had nothing to do with” a hearing attended last week by President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.
Trump announced over the weekend that Giuliani has been hospitalized with COVID-19. That announcement led to the cancellation of voting in the Michigan House on Tuesday. It wasn't immediately clear when it will meet next.
