Barack & Michelle’s daughter caught up in Harvard bribe scandal.
Former President Barack Obama’s daughter Malia has become caught up in the same college admissions scandal as actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, where feds charge wealthy parents paid huge bribes to rig entrance exams and get unqualified kids into elite schools.
Harvard coed Malia and her mom, Michelle, both took tennis lessons from Georgetown University coach Gordon Ernst, who’s been charged with taking $2.7 million in payoffs over six years ending in 2018 to get at least a dozen students into top schools as members of the tennis team — even though they didn’t have the skills or credentials to make it on their own!
Michelle and Barack are also Harvard Law grads — and “legacy” students are often given preferential treatment when it comes to college admissions, insiders say. But five fat cat Harvard alumni have been charged with illegally shelling out big bucks in the conspiracy, and many of the school’s students speculated whether their fellow classmate Malia was involved.
“When students learned about a multimillion-dollar ‘unnamed’ donor, we started thinking that it could be Malia,” says a Harvard student who spoke to GLOBE only under the condition of anonymity.
“Malia is mortified about being dragged into the largest scandal in college admissions history. She’s humiliated, to say the least. It’s not like she could defend herself — if she says anything at all, it’ll backfire, and she knows it.
