Dozens of guests at President Trump’s private club in Bedminster, N.J., huddled together in a ballroom to watch his Friday evening news conference, apparently flouting the state’s coronavirus restrictions.
The onlookers made for an unusual scene, as some adults held wine glasses and others were accompanied by their children in anticipation of Trump’s remarks addressing stalled coronavirus talks on Capitol Hill.
Some attendees wore their golf attire, while guests had their temperatures taken prior to the event.

New Jersey’s coronavirus restrictions require that golf courses limit the number of patrons in an indoor part of the property to 25 percent capacity or no more than 25 people, while also requiring that all workers and customers wear face coverings.
Few of the patrons at Bedminster were seen wearing face coverings ahead of Trump’s remarks, but reporters in attendance said staff began handing out masks and asking guests to spread out just before the president took to the lectern.
