Subject: Out-of-town pool report #11: JBA arrival
AF1 touched down at JBA at 12:13 a.m. The press cabin had no visitors during the flight.
POTUS stepped off the plane at 12:29.a.m., along with Jared Kushner, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio and what the White House said was a group of elected officials from Florida. POTUS headed straight to Marine One, which was wheels up seven minutes later.
Handing off to the in-town pool for Marine One’s arrival back at the White House.
A special shout-out to Meridith McGraw of Politico for her help in pooling tonight’s events.
Have a great weekend, everybody.

He entered the residence at 0049.
The White House press office announced a lid at 0050.
