Carlos Allen, who allegedly attended November’s state dinner at the White House without being on the guest list, showed what he said was an invitation but couldn’t produce anything with his name on it today on Good Morning America.
“I was invited. I actually got an invitation in the mail. I have the actual invite,” he said. Allen showed what he said was his official invitation, which did not have his name on it. He could not produce a seating card or anything else with his name on it.
Allen, who runs a magazine purportedly focused on philanthropy as well as a party venue out of a home in D.C., has maintained his innocence since being named as the third crasher. He allegedly tagged along with the official Indian delegation to the dinner, and had no contact with President Obama.
“I didn’t want to embarrass anyone. I did not want to embarrass my president,” he said today.
We’ll have video shortly.
