WASHINGTON, D.C. — Though all of the living former U.S. presidents — and their wives — are expected to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration next week, former First Lady Michelle Obama will reportedly skip next week’s event.

The former first lady was also absent from former president Jimmy Carter’s funeral last week.

There has been no word yet on why Mrs. Obama did not attend Carter’s funeral, or why she will not be present at Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.
