The motorcade left the Ritz at 9:20 and arrived back at the White House at 9:24 after another uneventful ride. No sign of Potus entering or leaving. Still pushing to receive a list of the attendees at tonight’s event but we are told that it was a large event with over 100 people.
On background from the White House on tonight’s event: “POTUS will participate in a moderated conversation with Henry Kravis and will engage with the audience, which includes members of the Business Council,” the White House says.
