×U.S. EditionPart of HuffPost Politics. ©2022 BuzzFeed, Inc. All rights reserved.×New Jersey contact tracers did not have a complete list of the names of those who attended a Bedminster fundraiser Thursday with President just hours before his , until at least Friday afternoon, 24 hours after the event, HuffPost has learned.The Republican National Committee sent the names of those it knew had attended to the office of New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) at 2:30 p.m. Friday, a spokesperson for the RNC said. AdvertisementBut asked if the state had a list of everyone who attended — not just donors, but outside vendors and members of the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster staff — a senior aide to Murphy said Friday afternoon that the state was still waiting for the full roster, which it was compiling from information from the RNC, the White House and the golf club.The aide said all three were being “cooperative.” On Friday night, the state confirmed it had all the names. “We have received the information, and contact tracing has begun,” the spokesperson, who asked to remain unnamed, said. Murphy noted Friday night that, “as far as we know, folks are cooperating, and we need them to.” Trump came into contact with 100 people at the fundraiser and seemed “lethargic,” a common symptom of the novel coronavirus.AdvertisementAdvertisementIn social media footage from Workman, Dawson and political activist Charlie Kolean, multiple people could be seen gathered outside the Bedminster golf club without masks, including the three of them. After it ended, Kolean and another attendee filmed themselves driving through Times Square and elsewhere in Manhattan, briefly exiting their vehicle to take photos in front of the Charging Bull statue on Wall Street and to walk around. Trump’s diagnosis was not yet public; Kolean declined to comment on the record.Virtually everyone who attended Thursday’s fundraiser is by now probably already aware of Trump’s diagnosis. But contact tracers do more than alert people when they have been exposed to COVID-19. They provide accurate medical information about testing and quarantining, and they may call other close contacts, making lists of who attended the Trump event crucial.Spokespeople for the White House and the Trump National golf course did not respond to questions about their efforts to help with contact tracing. An RNC spokesperson said “every guest was at least six feet from the president at all times,” but did not respond to the question about whether it had provided the guests’ names to contact tracers.AdvertisementAdvertisementDo you have information about the fundraiser or the other events Trump attended just before his COVID-19 diagnosis?
