A White Home staffer passed a note to President Joe Biden throughout a video conference call on Friday alerting him of something on his chin.
The president held a video teleconference meeting with governors of Western states to go over the difficult wildfire season, but something was stayed with his chin as he talked to the cams.
White Home photographer Andrew Harnik recorded an image of the staffer’s message to the president on a card, that was passed quietly to him after he concluded his opening remarks.

Biden checked out the note and moved his hand up to his face surreptitiously to wipe off the angering compound from his face.
