The tragic, shocking murder of Rob and Michele Reiner hit the political world hard, as Barack and Michelle Obama were reportedly scheduled to meet with the couple the very night they were found brutally murdered in their Los Angeles home. Michelle Obama confirmed the devastating timing during a recent appearance on a talk show, explaining that she and her husband had plans to get together with the Reiners on Sunday night, just hours after the double homicide occurred.
It’s clear the relationship was deep, as Michelle explained to Jimmy Kimmel. She discussed how she and Barack had been chummy with the Reiners for many years. It must have been incredibly difficult for her to speak about the couple so soon after the tragedy, but she offered her condolences and confirmed their long-standing friendship.
