Washington (CNN) The lawyer who was a fixture on television during President Donald Trump's impeachment proceedings tweeted on Sunday that he has tested positive for coronavirus and is recovering.

"My #COVID19 test came back positive. I want to thank everyone for the outpouring of support. It means a lot to my family and me," Daniel Goldman, who was counsel to the House Intelligence Committee, tweeted . "I am almost back to 100%. I'm lucky enough not to fall in the vulnerable category and, for me, it was just like the flu."

In an interview Monday morning on CNN's "New Day," Goldman reiterated that he is improving, saying he is "feeling much better."

Earlier Sunday, House Intelligence Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff announced that Goldman, who left his office as a staffer 10 days ago, had tested positive.

"Medical professionals believe that my former staff member likely contracted the virus after leaving the office, but we will still be taking additional precautions over the next few days," Schiff, a California Democrat, said in a statement. "The former staffer is feeling better and no current staff have reported any flu-like symptoms at this time."
