report 13 — Marine 1 aloft, no Q and A

The president emerged from the Oval Office at 1701, mouthed “thank you” several times and pumped his fist as he walked past the pool and assembled press.

He either ignored or didn’t hear shouted questions about the departure of Mike Waltz from the national security adviser job.

He walked to the helicopter and climbed aboard at 1702. Susie Wiles and Karoline Leavitt were among a gaggle of staff who also boarded.

At 1706 Marine 1 was in the air and en route JBA.

Handing off to the travel pool for the trip to Alabama and Florida.
