Former first daughter Jenna Bush Hager admitted Wednesday to engaging in a little “hanky panky” at the White House when she was younger.

The “Today” correspondent appeared on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” and responded to recent scrutiny of Sasha and Malia Obama, but didn’t specifically address the comments on the Obama girls’ choice of Thanksgiving dress that led to GOP staffer Elizabeth Lauten’s resignation.

“I’m fiercely protective of them, obviously,” she told host Andy Cohen. “I don’t think it’s easy. It’s not a job that they wanted, and so it’s hard. Obviously I had a hard time.”

Then a viewer asked the former first daughter if she ever “fooled around” in the White House. She was 19 when George W. Bush assumed the presidency.

“A lady never talks,” she responded, adding that her husband was on set.

“Maybe there was a little hanky-panky, maybe there was a kiss on the roof,” she admitted.
