Grandad Joe, 81, holds baby Beau's hand and heads to Camp David with Hunter after Radio City fundraiser: President's son leaves for Camp David with Jill, daughter Ashley and wife Melissa days after trying to toss tax charges

President Joe Biden wrapped up a big bucks fundraising trip to New York and headed off to Camp David with family members after padding campaign accounts with more than $25 million.

After holding yet another fundraiser Friday morning, Biden hopped a ride on Marine One back to Joint Base Andrews near Washington – then swapped onto a smaller plane en route to the presidential retreat at Camp David.

The president made brief comments to reporters where he said he'd visit Baltimore next week to view recovery efforts after the collapse of Francis Scott Key Bridge that blocked Baltimore Harbor, and said he isn't 'giving up' on working to free Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich. 

The president plans to spend the weekend with family at the retreat in Maryland's Catoctin Mountains.

He held hands with grandson Beau Biden, and walked with first lady Jill Biden and daughter Ashley Biden at John F. Kennedy Airport.

Also tagging along are baby Beau's parents Hunter Biden and Melissa Cohen.  

Lawyers for Hunter sought to get tax charges against him dismissed in a California court Wednesday. 

U.S. District Judge Marc Scarsi was skeptical in particular of the claim Hunter has faced 'selective and vindictive' prosecution. 'One of the big hurdles that this motion has it that it’s not filed with any evidence,' he said. A trial could come in June.

Biden's weekend getaway, which relied on the presidential limo, Marine One, and a pair of government Air Force One jets, came hours after he joked about the presidential aircraft with Late Show host Stephen Colbert.

'You're all busy men, you gotta go run the world. Here's an important question. All three of you have been on Air Force One. You still have the keys, Mr. Biden. That's made my Boeing right? Do those doors stay on?' Colbert asked Biden, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton ad the fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall.

'Before you get on, do you give Pete Buttigieg a socket wrench to tighten the bolts?' he joked, in a reference to manufacturer Boeing's woes, which have included a door plug falling out from an Alaska Airlines aircraft in mid-flight.

 'I don't sit by the door. I'm only kidding. I shouldn't even joke about it,' Biden responded, with a quip about Boeing's problems and an Alaska Airlines flight.

'One thing I can tell you about Air Force One: We're not changing the color,' he added. 'Trump wanted to change the color.'

That prompted Obama, added Biden to his ticket in 2008 and who has been advising him on getting reelected, to second his opinion. 'Yeah, we're not doing that,' said Obama.

Biden's weekend comes as the presidential campaign is heating up, after he and Trump have both effectively locked up their party nominations.

Trump was on Long Island to to meet with grieving family members at a wake for slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, who was killed in the line of duty. He was shot and killed in Queens during a routine traffic stop on Monday and horrific surveillance footage captured the moment.

Trump had a big week on the legal front. A court panel gave him a reprieve with additional time to pay a reduced $175 million judgment in his New York fraud case. And his Trump Media company went public, boosting his net worth by billions.
