Good morning from the Ellipse on this sunny last day of July. Restricted pool walked over here before POTUS arrival in motorcade, which took place at 10:16 am.
POTUS stepped out of the Beast at 10:18 am, saluted military members as he boarded Marine One. Susie Wiles boarded M1 after POTUS. Pool is standing far from the action, no point in shouting questions.
M1 lifted off from the Ellipse at 10:23, en route Camp David. Handing off to travel pool.
