Amid heightened concern for the security of former presidents, a story of a would-be wedding crashing for a presidential family has received renewed attention.

A book published eight years ago shared an account of how then-businessman Donald Trump unsuccessfully attempted to attend the 2010 wedding of former first daughter Chelsea Clinton to Marc Mezvinsky, according to The List.

Trump allegedly felt that he deserved to be included on the guest list, in part because of the past favors and political donations he'd provided to former President and first lady Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as to reciprocate their attendance at his 2005 wedding to future first lady Melania Trump.

Trump wanted to attend Chelsea's wedding

In an August 2016 edition of Politico Playbook, an exclusive excerpt about Trump's alleged unfulfilled desire to attend Chelsea Clinton's wedding several years earlier was shared amid the then-ongoing presidential race between the famous reality TV star and New York real estate mogul against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The new book, written by political journalist Joe Conason and titled "Man of the World: The Further Endeavors of Bill Clinton," purported to tell the story of the former president's post-White House career, address the controversy over dubious foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation, and contemplate the possibility at that time that Clinton could become the nation's first-ever "first gentleman."

Referencing the many people who wanted to attend Chelsea Clinton's 2010 wedding, Conason wrote, "And finally there was Donald Trump, who had hosted a somewhat reluctant Bill and Hillary at his third wedding in 2005. The real estate mogul was the sort of person who, though not an actual friend, still aspired to attend Chelsea’s wedding, which he clearly considered a prestigious event."

"An avid reader of gossip columns, he had probably seen mentions of a guest list that was expected to include the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Barbra Streisand, Steven Spielberg, and Ted Turner (none of whom ultimately turned up)," the author continued. "And having given Bill Clinton free access to his northern Westchester golf club, Trump National, where he proudly hung photos of the former president -- and had even cleared the links once for the Clintons to play on Bill’s birthday, Trump may well have felt they owed him."

Former President Clinton's staffers were of no assistance

The Daily Beast also shared portions of the same excerpt about uninvited guests to Chelsea Clinton's wedding from Conason's book, in which he wrote, "People who had done major favors for Bill Clinton -- loaning him a plane, or donating millions to the library or the foundation -- were of­fended to learn that they had not been invited."

Of Trump, the author asserted that he'd contacted former President Clinton's longtime senior aide Doug Band, and allegedly told him, "I’m supposed to be at the wedding, Doug," and added, "but I didn’t receive the invitation, and I need to know where to go."

"Band knew Trump wasn’t on the list, of course, and politely urged him to get in touch with Chelsea for directions," Conason revealed to conclude the anecdote. "After a fruitless call to another Clinton staffer, Trump apparently gave up."

Bill and Hillary attended Donald and Melania's wedding

Whether Conason's account of Trump's attempt to attend Chelsea Clinton's wedding is accurate is unknown, but it is true that Bill and Hillary were present for the nuptials five years earlier between Donald and Melania.

In 2015, ABC News reported that then-candidate Trump addressed the matter during a GOP primary debate and said, "Hillary Clinton, I said be at my wedding, and she came to my wedding," and added, "She had no choice because I gave to a foundation."

A few days later, CNN reported that then-candidate Hillary Clinton confirmed to reporters that she had attended the Trump wedding at Mar-a-Lago in 2005 and recalled, "I happened to be planning to be in Florida and I thought it would be fun to go to his wedding because it is always entertaining."

"Now that he is running for president it is a little more troubling," she continued and attempted to further distance herself from her future bitter rival as she added, "I didn’t know him that well."
