O’Keefe Media Group released part two of its undercover DNC sting on Thursday, revealing statements from Democratic National Committee (DNC) Compliance Manager Joyce DeCerce. DeCerce admitted on hidden camera that First Lady Jill Biden plans to fund her personal trip back from France using the general DNC account.
When an undercover journalist pointed out that the trip isn’t directly related to the campaign, DeCerce dismissed the concern, saying, “Who’s gonna file a complaint?” This suggests that Jill Biden might not face consequences for potentially misusing donor funds.
DeCerce elaborated, “She has to be at her son’s trial. It’s a political issue,” indicating that the trip’s political implications might outweigh concerns about its funding source.

“Do you know what — the President dropped the First Lady off at her own plane on the way to Air Force One. Is she — she going back to Wilmington to attend the trial for day three?” the reporter asked.
Jean-Pierre responded vaguely: “I would have to refer to the First Lady’s Office on her — on her travel. I just don’t — or — or her — yeah, her travel. I just don’t have anything for you at this time. So —”
Fox News also raised questions about who was funding Jill Biden’s frequent travel.
