Subject: Out of town pool report #12: Return to JBA
Air Force One landed at a rainy JBA at 5:48 p.m. The flight was largely uneventful. Deputy press secretary Judd Deere popped in again to say hello. The Buccaneers-Raiders game played on the TV screens throughout. The president tweeted a few times while we were in the sky.
POTUS deplaned at 5:58 carrying an umbrella. He waved to the pool but did not respond to shouted questions before climbing into the Beast. We are motorcading back to the White House and are rolling at 6:01 p.m.
Subject: Out of town pool report #13: Back at the White House
Motorcade arrived back at the White House at 6:23 p.m. We drove past dozens of kids and their families lined up outside the White House in costumes and with bags, ready for trick or treating. Pool did not see POTUS enter the White House through the north portico.
Handing off to in-town pool to take it from here. My thanks to Geoff Earle of The Daily Mail for all of his help today getting quotes and spotting details.
