President Donald Trump is expected to arrive on Air Force One in Westhampton Friday morning, the White House says.
WESTHAMPTON, NY — President Donald Trump will be paying a visit to the Hamptons Friday.
According to guidance sent out by the White House press office, President Trump's Air Force One arrival is slated for 11:50 a.m. at Francis S. Gabreski Airport in Westhampton.
While the purpose of his visit has not been disclosed by the White House, a post by Bloomberg.com suggests the President is attending a Southampton fundraiser hosted by developer Howard Lorber, who is also executive chairman of Nathan's Famous, Inc. According to that report, the fundraiser will benefit Trump Victory, a joint committee for Trump’s 2020 campaign and the Republican National Committee.
