Pool walked down to the Ellipse, arriving as the helicopters were landing.
The motorcade pulled up shortly after, and POTUS got out of the beast at 11:27am. It was a short walk from the car to the helicopter, and he saluted the Marine before boarding. Pool was about 40-50 yards away, with no chance of any questions. It was hard to identify others getting on Marine One and WH didn’t provide a list, but one passenger appeared to be Sean Duffy.
Marine One lifted at 11:31am. Handing off to out of town pool.
