College Admissions Bribery Scandal Hits Obama Family's Tennis Instructor
March 13, 2019
One of the college coaches caught up in the admissions bribery scandal was Michelle and Malia Obama's personal tennis instructor for a time. University of Rhode Island tennis coach Gordon Ernst was indicted Tuesday for conspiracy to commit racketeering when he was a tennis coach at Georgetown. Ernst is accused of accepting more than two-point-seven million dollars in bribes to put at least a dozen students on the Georgetown tennis team. The indictment says some of those students did not play tennis competitively. Malia Obama is a sophomore at Harvard and there's no suggestion she's involved in the scandal in any way.
