A helicopter chased a drone away from Donald Trump's golf course in New Jersey on Sunday morning, according to the state's previous governor.
Christine Todd Whitman, former governor of New Jersey, appeared on MSNBC over the weekend, where she was asked about the mysterious sightings. Also on Sunday, former Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger of Illinois said he knows what the mystery drones actually are, prompting MAGA outrage.
For the former governor's part, she mentioned the development as an aside while discussing the drone phenomenon more generally.

"Well, everybody's talking about them right now," she said. "I live in Hunterdon County where this morning there was a helicopter that chased a drone away from Trump's national golf course which is next-door to the farm."
She continued, saying, "They're there, but I think also you see a lot of sightings that are small planes that sometimes will look as if it's hovering over you, the plane, because it's coming at you. That makes it look as if it's stationary."
"I don't think we have to worry, but what's frustrating is to have the government say well, there's no problem," the former lawmaker added. "We don't know what it is, but it's no problem. That's not a satisfying answer. We need better from the government."
