Former First Lady Michelle Obama Opens Up About Not Being Invited Back To The White For Portrait Unveiling: ‘That’s Tradition’

Former First Lady Michelle Obama revealed in a latest interview with Jimmy Fallon that she and her husband, Barack Obama, weren’t invited again to the White Home for his or her portrait unveiling.

Traditionally, former presidents and first girls return to the White Home in the course of the subsequent president’s time period for the official portrait hanging.

“That’s tradition. You do your official portraits,” Obama advised the host. “The next president is supposed to invite you back to hang them. We were never invited back.” 

Trump succeeded President Barack Obama after profitable the 2016 election. It wasn’t till Joe Biden grew to become president that the Obamas returned to the White Home. Final 12 months, Biden welcomed the couple again to their former house for a portrait-hanging ceremony. It had been 5 years.

“It was really a beautiful experience,” Obama remembered.

Trump lately made historical past once more, this time changing into the primary president to be arrested and indicted. He was charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying enterprise information. Trump pleaded not responsible to the entire costs at his arraignment earlier this month.
