Former Trump executive disputes his claim that Willie Brown was on board during helicopter incident

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/former-trump-executive-disputes-claim-willie-brown-helicopter-rcna166083

Barbara Res, the Trump Organization's former executive vice president of construction and development, on Saturday disputed former President Donald Trump's account that he rode with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown in a helicopter that had to make an emergency landing in the 1990s.

"We were working on a very big project in California," Res told NBC News' Ali Vitali on MSNBC, adding, "We were working with local politicians and state politicians. And one of the very important politicians was this man, [former California state Sen.] Nate Holden.

His account was supported by Res, who told MSNBC, "It wasn't like, 'Oh my god, we're going to crash.' It was just, we can't, you know, keep going, so we found the closest airport, and [the pilots] landed us in Teterboro, and everyone was fine."

"Donald was terrified," Res said, "And after the whole thing was over, he was joking with Nate Holden, who happens to be a Black man, and he said, 'Nate, you turned white.'"
