Trump advisor whined about media reporting Trump Jr. caught COVID — and it did not end well

President Donald J. Trump's advisor, Richard Grenell, took to Twitter account Friday to share his dissatisfaction with the media reporting on Donald Trump, Jr.'s contraction of COVID-19.

Grenell, the former acting Director of National Intelligence, has been working with Rudy Giuliani on Trump’s post-election legal efforts.

"Reporters need to stop announcing protected health information. This is a violation of HIPAA rules," Grenell tweeted before receiving public correction.

Here's how the announcement began:

NBC News correspondent Josh Lederman retweeted with his own reply, stating, "Don Jr’s spokesman disclosed it in a statement, so that’s who you are accusing of violating HIPAA." Lederman added, "Also, if it violates his privacy, why did you retweet it to your ~700k followers?"
