Third White House Crasher is Black Event Planner


WASHINGTON (AP) — The third gate-crasher at November's White House state dinner turns out to be a local event planner who got in with members of the Indian delegation.

The latest uninvited guest, Carlos Allen, who runs an event business called Hush Galleria in the nation's capital, has met with the Secret Service several times about the incident, Allen's lawyer, A. Scott Bolden, told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

The Secret Service did not learn of a third uninvited person who got into the dinner until mid-December, two weeks after a Dec. 3 House hearing about the breach, according to a government official who spoke on condition of anonymity because this is an ongoing investigation.

Allen's lawyer said his client is cooperating with the investigation.

"He doesn't feel he did anything wrong," Bolden said, who added that Allen retained him in the last 24 hours.

Hush Galleria promotes itself as arranging black-tie and casual events "to place up-and-coming individuals with elite individuals in our luxury environment for the purpose of assisting and supporting each other to accomplish self enrichment, business enhancement and community patronization."
