Haley Meadows Kocher, the daughter of White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, married Ian Kocher on May 31 in Atlanta, Georgia, in a ceremony that violated local coronavirus restrictions.

The wedding was held indoors at a private club, with about 70 guests in attendance, according to reports. Photos from the event show that few guests were wearing masks, and social distancing guidelines were not observed.

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has criticized the wedding, saying that it "blatantly violated" the city's COVID-19 restrictions. She said that the Meadows family should have known better than to host such a large event during a pandemic.

Mark Meadows has not publicly addressed the criticism, but a spokesperson for the White House said that the Meadows family "followed all applicable guidelines" for the wedding.

The wedding has sparked a debate about the extent to which government officials should be held to the same public health guidelines as everyone else. Some critics have argued that Meadows' actions show a disregard for the safety of the public, while others have defended his right to hold a private event for his family.

The incident is likely to further damage the public trust in the Trump administration, which has been widely criticized for its handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
