Just because your dad is the president of the United States doesn’t mean you can’t get in trouble with the law. When their dad took office, there was a microscope on Jenna Bush Hager and her twin sister, Barbara Bush Coyne. According to the Daily Mail, Jenna told “Today” co-star Hoda Kotb about how she got in trouble for underage drinking while attending the University of Texas. In 2001, Jenna had two run-ins with the law — one for being in possession of alcohol as a minor and another for trying to purchase alcohol at a restaurant with Barbara using a fake ID. These two occasions both came within five weeks of one another, by the way.
“The fact that we thought we could do that just speaks to how [our parents] were like, “Oh, you can be normal, it’s OK,”‘ she told Kotb before revealing how her father reacted to the news. “When I called my dad to say, ‘I’m really sorry … I got this ticket for drinking underage.’ He said, ‘No, I’m sorry.’ We did embarrass [our parents], but they never would say that,” she recalled. “He said, ‘I’m sorry, I told you [that] you can be normal, and you can’t. You can’t order margaritas.”‘

At the end of the day, Jenna got a slap on the wrist and had to pay a fine and do some community service — but at least she didn’t go to jail.
