WASHINGTON — US First Lady Jill Biden pranked reporters and staff flying back from a trip with her on Thursday, disguising herself as a flight attendant to pass out ice cream bars for April Fool’s.

Staff, Secret Service and press were treated to dessert by a woman with short black hair, a black face mask and a nametag that read “Jasmine,” who made her way through the cabins as the first lady traveled home to Washington after visiting California.

Five minutes later, “Jasmine” reappeared in the press section, wig removed, revealing herself to be none other than Biden herself.

The vanilla ice cream bars with hard chocolate coating “were delicious,” it added.
