According to a report from The Daily Wire, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden racked up quite a bill flying back and forth between Hunter Biden’s gun trial in Delaware and Normandy, France where husband Joe was marking the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion.
From The Daily Wire:
The solution [to be in both places] involved several flights between Joint Base Andrews and Wilmington, and then Wilmington and Paris — so that she could attend Hunter’s trial, but also be on hand for official ceremonies and state visits with French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron.
On Tuesday, that meant a flight from Joint Base Andrews to Wilmington — and later that night, a government plane to Paris for the D-Day ceremonies. After a full day in Normandy, another government plane waited to return her to Wilmington for Friday’s courtroom proceedings — after which she returned to Paris for an official state visit. She then returned home from France with the president aboard Air Force One on Sunday.

Security concerns prevent the first lady from flying commercial — and they always travel with a full Secret Service detail — but when flying alone, they often fly in something smaller than Air Force One, like a Boeing C-32. According to the Air Force, the reimbursable rate for the C-32 is $13,816 per hour — and Jill Biden racked up three consecutive eight-hour flights.
The Daily Mail says each leg of the first lady’s trip could have cost upwards of $110,500 — and the total cost from start to finish was in the neighborhood of $345,000.
“In accordance with relevant regulations utilized across administrations, the government is reimbursed the value of a first-class fare for these flights to Wilmington and back to Paris,” Jill Biden’s office told the Daily Mail.
It’s also being reported that the DNC will reimburse a portion of the costs, as well.

No wonder the POTUS is losing his mind: DR. JILL ABANDONED HIM IN FAVOR OF HUNTER.
The fake Biden is as much the POTUS and the fake Jill is a doctor.
No big deal. I spent your tax dollars a lot more than this white couple did. I always flew separately from my husband
