Donald Trump's Staff In Accident On Way To GOP Convention
Trump was not injured in the New York City accident.
A member of Donald Trump's staff was involved in an accident in New York City Monday as he and his entourage were on their way to Cleveland for the Republican National Convention, according to CNN.
The car was a staff car that did not contain Trump, and the campaign told CNN that Trump was "perfectly fine." The Secret Service confirmed on Twitter that the car was being driven by campaign staff and not the Secret Service, adding that it was not part of a motorcade.
