President Joe Biden is expected to return to Delaware early Saturday morning after a post-Easter visit to Ireland.
The White House schedule indicates the President will fly into Dover Air Force Base, with the final destination not listed. The Bidens have homes near Greenville and Rehoboth.
The Boeing 747 that carries the President on long trips is capable of landing on the shorter runway at Wilmington (ILG) Airport. However, the president has typically flown into the northern Delaware airport on a smaller jet or from the White House via Marine One helicopter.
Biden, who is not shy about proclaiming his roots and is fond of quoting Irish poets, is visiting County Mayo on Friday. The county is the family’s ancestral home.
The presidential visit commemorated the peace treaty that led to the end of “The Troubles” in Northern Ireland. Religious-fueled tensions still exist in UK-controlled corner of the island but secterian violence that took many lives has mainly ended.
Overall, the visit to the nation of five million has been largely ceremonial.
Biden returns home after an Air Guard member was arrested in connection with the leaking of classified documents related to the war in Ukraine. An investigation is continuing into how highly classified information was accessed.
On Monday, Biden’s home state and the aftermath of his 2020 election to the nation’s highest office, will be in the national spotlight as the trial gets underway in a $1.6 billion suit filed by Dominion Voting Systems against the Fox News cable network.
Dominion claims Fox News damaged the company by allowing talk show guests to promote false claims that Dominion was part of a conspiracy that allowed Biden to be elected president over Donald Trump. Trump has continued to promote those claims and has launched a 2024 presidential campaign.
Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis ruled that Dominion lawyers could not offer testimony related to any links to the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol by indiviuals and groups seeking to overturn the election. Fox claims its actions are protected by the First Amendment governing free speech.
Jurors will be asked to determine if Fox acted with malice and reckless disregard.
