Remember the indictment – President Biden spent time with his granddaughter playing video games during a weekend in Camp David, the presidential retreat in the Maryland mountains.
Naomi Biden, the daughter of Hunter Biden, reported in an Instagram story on Saturday that her grandfather “barely” beat her in a “Mario Kart” game.
“Secret service made an exception and allowed him to drive himself,” she posted, linking to a short video in which they play the video games. ‘A little rusty, but he still (barely) won. ‘
The White House said Biden and his family were spending the weekend at Camp David for the first time since entering the White House in January.
Except for the meeting with his national security team, the president has nothing else on his schedule.
He arrived there Friday afternoon by motorway after Air Force One in Hagerstown, Md.
Despite the indictment of his predecessor, President Donald Trump, which continued on Saturday, White House spokesman Jen Psaki said Biden would watch ‘a little’ of the trial, but said he would leave it to the Senate to to decide on the outcome.
Trump was acquitted in a 57-43 vote.
Biden’s government was also embroiled in a scandal on Saturday when another spokesman, TJ Ducklo, resigned for allegedly threatening a reporter who was planning to write about his relationship with another journalist.
The heavily guarded resort in the mountains enabled presidents from Dwight Eisenhower to escape the glare of the spotlights.
Guests use golf carts in the rustic lodges and can use the tennis courts, horseshoe grooves, swimming pool, golf course, as well as sledding, ice skating and snowmobiling, the government says on its Camp David website.
