White House Crashers Face New Legal Problems

Uninvited White House guests, Michaele and Tareq Salahi, have new big legal problems to deal with. It seems the Virginia couple purchased $24,000 in liquor from wholesale liquor stores controlled by the government of Montgomery County for a charity polo event, but then bounced the check. When they didn't have enough cash to pay for the liquor, they attempted to return around $10,000 of it to the government controlled liquor store. Now, the government is suing them for damages to recover the remaining funds.

Part of the problem for the Salahi couple is that the charity event, America's Polo Cup World Championship was held way back in May, and the couple still hasn't managed to collect enough money to pay for the remaining liquor purchase since then. And the government of Montgomery County is now tired of waiting to be paid. The government has now filed a lawsuit against the couple. And instead of just paying the bill, the couple hires an attorney instead.

But this isn't the only lawsuit the couple is facing. It seems that on Friday a judge ordered an expensive Patek Phillipe watch to be forfeited and sold to pay for a $2,ooo unpaid landscaping bill.

But even worse news for the Salahi couple is a government investigation into their charity practices. Supposedly, money raised from the charity polo event was going to fund another charity called Journey For The Cure. However, at the time the polo event was held, Journey For The Cure wasn't even registered as a nonprofit charity with the state of Virginia according to one AP source. The couple finally did registered Journey For The Cure with the state of Virginia just last month as their legal problems began to build.

For the Salahi couple, sneaking into the White House is far away the least of all the problems they are facing right now. Their attempts to appear as important and well connected socialites are now hitting the wall of reality. They are too broke to pay for many bills, and their court battles are building.
