WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A plane carrying former U.S. President Donald Trump made an emergency landing in New Orleans on Saturday evening after experiencing engine failure over the Gulf of Mexico, a source familiar with the matter confirmed on Wednesday.

The plane, a Dassault Falcon 900, had gone about 75 miles from a New Orleans airport before turning back to the city, the person said. Other passengers included Secret Service agents, support staff and some of Trump's advisers.

A Trump representative did not immediately return a request for comment on the incident.

The plane was returning Trump to his home in Palm Beach, Florida, from a New Orleans hotel where he was speaking to Republican Party donors at a private event, the person said.

The plane belonged to a donor who loaned it to the former president for the evening, the source said, and Trump advisers secured another donor's plane to take him back to Florida.

The incident was first reported on Wednesday by Politico and the Washington Post.

Thanks for proving my point-]As I said-
''yet- he has asked his supporters to send money to pay for his personal plane-
No other billionaires ask people to pay for their
planes or repairs- that's a trump con at work-''
He is more than able to pay for his own stuff, as all other billionaires do.
He's simply working a con on his gullible minions to pay for his personal shit-
(((an excellent example of a cult and its leader)))

Trump blasts stories about 'mothballed' plane as fake news
Sat, March 12, 2022, 4:38 PM

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday denied reports that his personal plane has been "mothballed" in New York, calling the stories "fake news."

Trump's personal Boeing 757 was a hallmark of his 2016 campaign, but last year it was reported to be sitting idle in a state of disrepair in New York.

The former president, however, disputed the news on Saturday, seemingly referring to assertions from publications including the Daily Mail that he didn't believe he would need to use the plane until 2025, the year after the next presidential election.

"The story is Fake News about my plane being 'mothballed' in Stewart Airfield in Newburgh, New York, because 'I didn't think I would need it until 2025,'" Trump said in his statement.

"My plane, a Boeing 757, is going through a major scheduled maintenance program, which will be completed in approximately 90 days," he added. "It will then be put back into service. I was not allowed to use it during the Presidency, and didn't."

This comes after Trump earlier this week requested donations in an email sent through his Save America PAC to help fund a "Trump Force One" plane.

The fundraising email claimed Trump had "a very important update on his plane" and reminded potential donors that he used to travel on his personal plane, dubbed "Trump Force One," before he became "the greatest President of all time."

Last week, a private plane carrying Trump made an emergency landing after one of its engines failed following his appearance at a Republican National Committee-hosted donor retreat in New Orleans. The plane was reportedly heading back to his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida at the time of the incident.
