NBC’s O’Donnell: Biden Briefed on Incident at Rainbow Bridge Checkpoint; ‘We Don’t Expect to See the President Publicly Today’

‘He’s on a family vacation for the holiday’

EXCERPT:

O’DONNELL: “So we’re at a point now where the president is trying to juggle a few things. The international issue that he’s been dealing with, he’s on a family vacation for the holiday, like many Americans, where you’re gathered with family around, and personal plans, and then obviously all of these issues come into play when the president needs to be briefed on these situations. Officials have told us they will share more when they learn it. But at this point we don’t expect to see the president publicly today and tomorrow we will see where he, where he may be at on this issue. Certainly, traditionally the president, sometimes over this Thanksgiving holiday steps out, is in the community here on Nantucket, makes some calls to military and so forth. We would expect him to keep that kind of schedule, but at this point the president is getting information and evaluating next steps.”
