Bill and Hillary Clinton, George W. and Laura Bush to Attend Inauguration of Donald Trump

Clintons Want ‘To Witness the Peaceful Transfer of Power’

In a remarkable show of statesmanship, former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former President George W. Bush, and former First Lady Laura Bush will attend the inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20.

The Clintons, former friends of Trump who both waged an all-out battle to put Hillary Clinton in the Oval Office have been gracious and honorable since Trump won the White House in November. George W. Bush, brother to Jeb Bush, whom Trump repeatedly and vigorously attacked during the Republican primary, also has reason to not attend, but will.

“Bill and Hillary Clinton have decided to attend the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States, according to two sources with knowledge of their plans,” New York Magazine’s Yashar Ali reports. 

“The Clintons will join former Presidents George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter, who have also announced that they will attend. George and Laura Bush said today that they would be present ‘to witness the peaceful transfer of power.'”
