WASHINGTON Hillary Clinton had lunch with President Barack Obama on Thursday in a stealthy visit that the White House only acknowledged after People Magazine tweeted about it.
The lunch wasn’t on the president’s public schedule. It became public knowledge after People tweeted a photo of one of its reporters who was with the former Secretary of State, then deleted the tweet. The tweet was posted again minutes later.
“PEOPLE's @ sswestfall chats w/ @ HillaryClinton before her @ WhiteHouse lunch. Hope she wasn't late for @ barackobama!” the tweet reads.
In response to an inquiry from a reporter, a White House official confirmed that Obama “enjoyed an informal, private lunch with Clinton.”
The official did not give any further details, or reveal what the two discussed over lunch.
