A US Air Force fighter jet has intercepted a small general aviation aircraft flying near President Donald Trump's private golf club.
The US military announced that an F-16 jet intercepted a plane around 12:30pm on Saturday flying "without proper clearances or communications" in the temporary flight restriction zone around the president's Bedminster, NJ golf course, where he is spending the weekend.
Continental US North American Aerospace Defense Command says the intercepted aircraft landed at an airport in Pittstown, N.J. without incident, where local law enforcement met the pilot.
Trump arrived in New Jersey on Friday afternoon and is scheduled to depart for Washington on Sunday. There was no immediate reaction from the White House, but Trump tweeted critically several times Saturday afternoon about special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
