Jill Biden's 3,600-mile round trip from France to Delaware to spend two days at Hunter's trial could cost up to $345,000... and taxpayers could be on the hook for a huge bill

Taxpayers will pick up the majority of cost for Jill Biden's whirlwind flights between Wilmington, Delaware, and France so she could be at son Hunter's side during his federal gun trial although the Democratic Party will chip in some funds.

The first lady racked up $345,400 in flight costs, the National Taxpayers Union Foundation estimated, as she boomeranged between the United States and France last week, traveling separately from husband Joe Biden so she could support her family at home while also representing the United States abroad.

Her political party will repay the government for what it would cost for her to fly commercially with taxpayers footing the rest of the bill.

While I agree with the sentiment, this kind of ankle biting is not productive, IMHO.

It plays into the Leftists’ hands.

Jill is in this because she likes having thousands of servants and an unlimited checking account and is not beholden to any normal laws

She should fly commercial. Buy the whole first class on a Air France flight. A bunch of Secret Service agents will be accompanying her. Use pseudonym. This would be “last minute” so why not?

What do they mean “could be”? Is there any question as to who will get stuck with the bill?

Her "operation" specialty is corruption.

Climate Change Hypocrisy:

Jill Biden Jets Back and Forth Over The Atlantic from France to and from Hunter Biden’s gun trial
Polluting our air, using hundreds of thousands of gallons of jet fuel, all on the taxpayers’ dime

https://www.grantcountybeat.com / PUBLISHED: 07 JUNE 2024

Washington, D.C. - According to media reports, Jill Biden is in the middle of making several trips back-and-forth across the Atlantic in just a few short days.

In at least one leg of the journey, the First Lady boarded a military aircraft in Paris to return to Delaware in order to attend Hunter’s court proceedings. In total, the First Lady flew between the United States and France at least three times from Wednesday through Friday.

“As Joe Biden threatens to declare a climate emergency complete with COVID-style lock-downs and punitive measures, he’s using hundreds of thousands of gallons of jet fuel at the taxpayer expense to fly his wife back-and-forth across the Atlantic,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “The Biden climate scheme is pretty simple: working families are supposed to shut up and pay up while he and all the other hypocrites live it up.”

Presumedly, the First lady will also take another transatlantic flight to return home to the United States in the near future.


“Power The Future” is a 501c4 non-profit dedicated to fighting for American energy workers.

I suspect the pay is good.

Mention state and zip to be connected.

Message: Jill Biden made a personal decision to personally attend the trial of
a person accused of gun irregularities......who is awaiting trial for tax evasion.

Taxpayers were not informed of her personal decisions.

Ergo, taxpayers categorically refuse to pay for her personal choices.

If she felt that as See-u-next-Tuesday stepmom she had to be there for Humper, then she should have just stayed in the US and attend his trial. But everyone knows she is FJB’s elder caregiver so she “had” to also be there for the demented sack of Obama.

She had no choice/spit.
