NEW YORK - The couple that gatecrashed in to White House has hit the headlines again after releasing videotape showing them cozying up with Michele Jones.
Tareq and Michaele Salahi create another controversy came into the limelight again after a new reality show handed out tapes of a Pentagon bigwig cozying up with them.
Michele Jones, special assistant to the secretary of defense and a White House liaison, was at the center of last November’s debacle, when the shameless couple waltzed into President Obama’s first state dinner and shook hands with the commander in chief.
Immediately after the security snafu, the White House said Jones had told the social climbers they could not attend without a ticket and that she “did not have the authority” to let them in.
But, in the first episode of Bravo’s ‘The Real Housewives of D.C.,’ which follows stick-thin Michaele as one of the five main characters, has revealed the close link between Jones and the Salahis.
In fact, a few months before the scandal, Jones was filmed at a hobnobbing sports event organized by the couple, reports the New York Daily News.
She was the guest of honor at the Salahis’ America’s Polo Cup tournament, played in the shadow of the Washington Monument. She even gave a speech.
Later on the show, she flaunted her Oval Office “credentials.” (ANI)
