A second official on the National Security Council was reportedly struck with the mysterious Havana Syndrome last year while near the entrance to the White House grounds, CNN reports.
Sources close to the matter told CNN that the official experienced more severe symptoms than the previous case that had been reported in April.
The case occurred last year, CNN reports, several weeks after the presidential election.
The mysterious Havana Syndrome got its name after a number of diplomats from the United States and Canada who were stationed in Havana, Cuba, reported signs of vertigo, headaches and insomnia. The cause of the illness, which was first observed in 2016, has yet to be identified. However, it was afflicted over 130 U.S. diplomats, spies and troops.
CNN had previously reported two separate incidents of Havana Syndrome, one that occurred near the White House and another in a Virginia suburb in 2019. Both cases happened to White House officials.
