The Brotherhood-aligned delegation caused an international stir after the Washington Free Beacon revealed that it had been hosted for a meeting with several State Department officials.
Another member of the group, a Brotherhood-aligned judge in Egypt, posed for a picture while at Foggy Bottom in which he held up the Islamic group's notorious four-finger Rabia symbol.
While the State Department initially misled reporters about the meeting, it was eventually forced to admit that several Obama administration officials-including a deputy assistant secretary for democracy, human rights, and labor-and State Department officials met with the delegation.
Al-Dardery now claims that in addition to these State Department representatives, a member of the White House also participated in the sit-down.
"The trip started for the [Egyptian] community in New York and New Jersey," al-Dardery said in a recent interview with the Arabic language pro-Muslim Brotherhood El Sharq TV. "Then during the trip we undertook to meet with some from the 'establishment,' the administration, in the United States. And we met at the State Department and there was a representative there from the White House."
