Couple Did Not Crash State Dinner, Husband Says
From CNN:
Tareq Salahi said Tuesday he and his wife “did not party-crash” a White House state dinner last week.
The Obama administration said Salahi and his wife, Michaele Salahi, attended but had not been invited to the state dinner for visiting Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, and officials say they got into the event because of a breach in security.
Appearing on NBC’s “Today” show with his wife, Tareq Salahi said the aftermath of the incident has been “the most devastating thing that’s ever happened to us.”
“We’re greatly saddened by all the circumstances that have, you know, been involved and portraying my wife and I as party crashers. I can tell you, we did not party crash the White House.”
Salahi said he and his wife “are cooperating extensively with the U.S. Secret Service” in their investigation of the incident and said “the truth will soon come out.”
Yet White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday the Salahis were not on an invitation list of guests.
