Out-of-town pool report #2/JBA departure to LA

POTUS arrived via Marine One, which stopped north of AF1, at 2:48 pm. Stepped off the helo at 2:50 pm, his suit jacket buttoned over a blue tie. He spoke to a military official in dress uniform on the way to the Olsen.

With POTUS on Marine One, from pool’s vantage point, was Natalie Harp, Will Scharf and Chamberlain Harris. Steven Cheung also on this trip.

POTUS did not stop and take questions. He boarded the front of the plane at 2:52 pm. The plane stayed still for almost 20 minutes before we started taxiing.

Pool has asked for a list of travelers and will send along if it is shared.

We are moving to wheels up at 3:11. This is, as others have noted, a very large plane.
