Engine malfunction forced a helicpter carrying Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner to the ground last week, law enforcement officials told CNN.
The couple was flying from Washington, D.C. to New York when on the engines on their twin-engine helicopter, owned by the Trump Organiation, failed, forcing a quick landing. The couple ended up taking a commercial flight instead. Neither suffered any injuries.
Sources did not tell CNN why the couple took a helicopter instead of a plane in the first place.
A representative for the couple did not comment.
