America’s most famous White House party crashing couple – Michaele and Tareq Salahi – are allegedly asking for a hefty amount to tell their side of the story.
A confidential source claimed to Access Hollywood on Monday that the couple, who got past the Secret Service and managed to attend a White House state dinner uninvited, a dinner where they shook hands with President Barack Obama, are “looking for the highest” bidder to tell their story. The Salahis claim they were invited to the event.
The source claimed they are offering not only themselves for an interview, but have photos and video.
However, the couple will reportedly not take less than six figures to share their story.
The source claimed there was interest earlier today, but dropped off when outlets learned the Salahis were after a six-figure sum.
“There is interest, but no offers at this point,” the source claimed to Access Hollywood.
On Sunday, the Associated Press reported that couple were “shopping” for interviews and demanding money to share their story.
But Monday, Mahogany Jones, a publicist for the couple, e-mailed a statement claiming the allegations were untrue. She demanded that “this adverse, inaccurate information cease immediately.”
On Friday, a Secret Service spokesman said the Salahis may face criminal charges for attending the state dinner, which honored the prime minister of India without an invitation. Photos were released on the same day showing the couple shaking hands with President Obama.
