Former first lady Michelle Obama is absent at Jimmy Carter's funeral in Washington D.C. on Thursday. While neither she or her office provided a public statement on her absence, CNN reported that she had "scheduling conflicts" and was remaining in Hawaii.
"I'm told by her advisors that she has scheduling conflicts," said CNN reported Jeff Zeleney, as quoted by the Daily Mail. Her husband, former President Barack Obama, attended the service on his own. He was seen having a lengthy and amicable conversation with President-elect Donald Trump before it began.
