White House: Plane intercepted after entering 'restricted' Trump golf club airspace
By QUINT FORGEY
A plane breached the "no fly" zone surrounding the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Saturday, and U.S. military aircraft "intercepted the violator and escorted them from restricted airspace," the White House said.
President Donald Trump arrived at his New Jersey resort Friday and was expected to return to the White House on Sunday evening.
The "small, low wing general aviation aircraft" was detected at approximately 12:30 p.m. EST, White House deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters said in a statement Sunday, and "was met upon landing" after touching down in Pittstown, New Jersey, at Sky Manor Airport.
Law enforcement officials interviewed the aircraft's pilot, who was "deemed a non-threat," Walters said.
