New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy urged anyone who attended President Trump’s Thursday fundraiser at his Bedminster golf club to get a coronavirus test. “We urge everyone who attended yesterday’s event in Bedminster to take full precautions, including self-quarantining and getting tested for #COVID19,” he wrote in a tweet with a link to testing locations. Just hours before testing positive for the coronavirus, Trump gladhanded what has been reported to be as many as 100 supporters at a fundraising event at the Trump National Golf Club, posing for photos with some supporters. The fundraiser took place even after Hope Hicks, a close Trump aide, had tested positive for the virus. Trump announced that he and his wife Melania had tested positive early Friday morning.
