Trump has arrived at Newark Liberty International Airport just after midnight early Sunday.
He arrived in Newark about six hours after the shooting took place. A video posted by an aide showed the former president deplaning, flanked by U.S. Secret Service agents and heavily armed members of the agency's counter assault team.
