The White House party crashers Tareq Salahi and his wife Michaele Salahi speak up in an attempt to clear their image and reputation in an exclusive interview with Matt Lauer for ‘The Today Show’ on Tuesday (December 1) – watch video below.

Tareq and Michaele claim they were invited to the White House state dinner (photos here) and that they are not crashers. They said, “This has been the most devastating thing that has ever happened to us.” The couple is apparently cooperating with the Secret Services investigation and they also claim to have irrefutable proof they had been invited, saying, “The truth will soon come out.”
