A MEMORABLE WEDDING, SORT OF...

JUVENILE JAIL TO WALDORF?

WHERE ARE THE SALAHIS?
Loudoun Times: "Tareq and Michaele Salahi pleaded the fifth during a Congressional hearing where they were charged with crashing a White House state party in 2009.  Today, the Warren County couple inadvertently pleaded the fifth by not showing up at an 8:30 a.m. court hearing. The Salahis were on the docket for a Loudoun County District Court hearing with Judge Frank Buttery.  Loudoun resident Emily McCallum claims she paid the couple for a wine tour in celebration of her graduation. The couple did not follow through on an agreement and McCallum claims she was not refunded any money."
