In you-couldn’t-make-this-up-if-you-tried news, Alex Ovechkin and his posse of drunk Capitals teammates stumbled into Cafe Milano Saturday night.
And wouldn’t you know, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner just so happened to be there too having a dinner date.

So naturally the Caps got a photo with Ivanka and Jared. Ovechkin and Tom Wilson put their arms behind the elder Trump daughter’s back while John Carlson, Alex Chiasson, Dmitry Orlov, Philipp Grubauer, and Brooks Orpik cheesed with Kushner in the background.

This is of course interesting because Ivanka’s father Donald is the 45th President of the United States. And his election campaign is currently being investigated by the special counsel for, among other other things, Russian collusion. Ovechkin is a friend of Vladimir Putin’s.
What an insane night.
