The White House has indicated that President Donald Trump will not be quarantined for 14 days when he visits New Jersey over the weekend.

“The president of the United States is not a civilian,” White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement to The Hill on Wednesday. “Anyone who is in close proximity to him, including staff, guests, and press are tested for COVID-19 and confirmed to be negative,” Deere added.
