America’s toniest address is easier to get into than a Miami nightclub!
The White House Dinner Crashers had company. A third uninvited guest made it into The Obama’s State Dinner in honour of the Indian prime minister in November, the Secret Service said on Monday.
While there is no evidence the person had contact with the President or First Lady, a second security breach did occur at the Nov. 24 event, officials say. The still-unidentified person, who was not on The White House guestlist, traveled from a Washington hotel where the Indian delegation was staying and arrived at the dinner with the group, which was under the responsibility of the U.S. Department of State.
“This individual went through all required security measures along with the rest of the official delegation at the hotel, and boarded a bus/van with the delegation guests en route to the White House,” the Secret Service said this afternoon.
Aspiring reality stars Tareq and Michaele prompted a criminal investigation and a congressional probe of White House security after they attended the event without an invitation and rubbed elbows with President Obama and a number of other dignitaries.
