前第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马的办公室向ABC新闻证实，她将不会参加当选总统唐纳德·特朗普周一的就职典礼。
“前总统巴拉克·奥巴马确认将出席第60届就职典礼。前第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马将不会参加即将到来的就职典礼，”巴拉克和米歇尔·奥巴马办公室在一份声明中说。
这是两周内这位前第一夫人第二次错过总统活动。她明显缺席了1月9日周四在华盛顿国家大教堂举行的前总统吉米·卡特的葬礼，在那里她被安排坐在特朗普旁边。
米歇尔·奥巴马的计划缺席是首次报道美联社报道。
自2009年以来，米歇尔·奥巴马参加了每一次就职典礼，包括2017年特朗普的第一次宣誓就职仪式。
前总统巴拉克·奥巴马、乔治·w·布什和比尔·克林顿将出席就职典礼，前第一夫人劳拉·布什和希拉里·克林顿也将出席。他们也都参加了卡特的葬礼。
