President Joe Biden has taken his family to Lake Tahoe on the border of California and Nevada for vacation.
The home they are renting at fair market value, per the White House, belongs to climate activist and billionaire Tom Steyer. Neither Steyer nor his wife, Kat Taylor, will be present at the home for the weeklong vacation.

Steyer was Biden’s political opponent in the 2020 race for the Democratic nomination. The billionaire dropped out in February of the election year after the first four state caucuses.

Biden is fresh from the trilateral summit at Camp David with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Republic of Korea President Yoon Suk Yeol. It was the fourth time the three had congregated in the last 14 months. Afterward, Biden will visit Hawaii to witness the devastation of the wildfires on the island of Maui.

His attorney has already made clear that he is only willing to plead guilty to the two original charges and would plead not guilty otherwise.
