Joe and Jill Brandon went out for a ‘dinner and a movie date night’ Tuesday in Lewes, Delaware at the same time Brandon’s government indicted his top political rival Donald Trump for the so-called crimes of challenging the 2020 election and lobbying state officials and Congress.
Brandon in on a ten-day vacation at his Rehoboth Beach, Delaware home. White House scandal spokesman Ian Sams declined to comment, according to CNN: “We would refer you to the Justice Department, which conducts its criminal investigations independently,” White House spokesman Ian Sams said.”
Pool reporters covering the vacationing first couple reported they dined at Matt’s Fish Camp in Lewes and then headed to a movie theater to watch Oppenheimer.
Karl Doemens, RND, reporter, (translation) “As Trump fumes about his third indictment, Brandon and his wife Jill eat at Matt’s Fish Camp in Lewes, the neighboring town of their vacation home in Rehoboth, Delaware. The two arrived just in time for Happy Hour.”
