Michaele and Tareq Salahi continued to claim that they “were invited” to the Official State Dinner at the White House on November 23 in an interview with Matt Lauer on the “Today” show this morning.

“Our lives have been destroyed,” Michaele Salahi said. “…there isn’t anyone that would have the audacity or the poor behavior to do that.”

The Salahi did not reveal who invited them to the event, but said they’re working with the Secret Service in their investigation.

Lauer asked the couple about Senior Pentagon Official Michelle Jones’  statement that she told the Salahis they did not have tickets to the event.

The Salahis confirmed that NBC did not pay for their interview.
