The Obamas have been moving out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue this week ahead of Donald Trump's inauguration as president on Friday, January 20.Weinstein has held several fundraisers for President Obama in the past and worked on Hillary Clinton's recent presidential campaign. THR reports that it's not clear which department Malia will work in, but it may in marketing or development.
The teen, who graduated from Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC, in June 2016, previously announced her plan to take a gap year before heading to Harvard this fall.
Earlier on Thursday the New York Times reported that Malia took a secret two-and-a-half-month trip to South America this past fall, traveling to Bolivia and Peru with a group of tens through the Colorado-based organization Where There Be Dragons. The program is designed to help students "examine current political trends, social movements and environmental conservation efforts in the mountains and jungles of Bolivia and Peru," according to the organization's website.
The 83-day trip, which cost almost $15,000, not including airfare, offered intensive Spanish-language courses and an extended home-stay with a family in the small town of Tiquipaya, Bolivia.
