Malia was grinning and talking to her friends as she passed in front of a yellow cab.
She was seen clinging to a friend with short hair slicked back who was wearing a black t-shirt and Left Hand LA jeans.
The ensemble was rounded off with brown leather boots and a thick brown belt.
Malia and her other friend, who wore hair dyed crimson and shaggy bangs, stood behind the stream of pedestrians and walked together.
The pal wore a sheer lace shirt with embroidered flowers, knee length jean shorts and black harness boots.
She carried a pebbled leather bag and several thick silver rings and what appeared to be gauze bandages on her thumb.
Malia was spotted in Los Angeles on September 7th.
She was with John Koch, the founder and CEO of The Speak Company, a media relations brand with clients including Paramount and The Walt Disney Company.
Malia moved to Los Angeles in 2021 after graduating from Harvard University and recently worked as a screenwriter for Donald Glover’s Amazon show Swarm.
It is unclear why she was in New York.
The former first daughter enjoyed the day despite her father being embroiled in a controversy over allegations of homosexuality from a man named Lawrence or Larry Sinclair.
Sinclair has a lengthy criminal history, including convictions for forgery, fraud and theft. In 2008, he was wanted for forging an acquaintance’s signature and stealing her tax returns.
He has served prison sentences in Arizona, Florida and Colorado.
The convicted fraudster originally made the claims in 2008 and published a book titled Barack Obama & Larry Sinclair: Cocaine, Sex, Lies & Murder? two years later.
Sinclair, who claimed he had sexual relations with Obama nearly two decades ago, was spotted at a Trump hotel in 2019
Former TV star Tucker Carlson brought the accuser onto his show. The commentator was banned from a segment on Elon Musk’s social media platform after Fox News lost contact
I met Larry Sinclair a few weeks ago when I was doing my Tucker thing. I would trust Anna Delvey before I trust anything Larry Sinclair says. From top to bottom, perhaps the least trustworthy person I have ever seen. I would say his story is 0.0% true, and that’s being generous https://t.co/HWtv76i6tU

The baseless claims came to light again during an interview with Tucker Carlson, the disgraced talk show host who split from Fox News in April 2023.
A growing number of internal issues within the company reportedly led to his dismissal from the company, after which he created his own show on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
Carlson’s interview with Sinclair aired on September 6th. The post has been viewed over 34 million times at the time of writing.
Sinclair repeated the claim that Obama smoked crack with him before the ex-con gave him oral sex. He claimed Obama returned to his hotel the next day before the same routine unfolded.
Dave Portnoy, founder of digital media company Barstool Sports, criticized Sinclair after meeting him before taping his own Tucker-Carlson segment.
“From top to bottom, perhaps the least trustworthy person I have ever seen,” he said in a social media post.
“I would say his story has 0.0% [chance] to be true, and that is generous.’
