Reports: Michigan Democratic Chair Lon Johnson was Easter Bunny at White House Egg Roll

Rumors have been spreading round Washington DC political circles for days about the real identity of Mr Bunny at the White House Easter Egg Roll on April 1.

Then, on Monday, Washington Post reporter Al Kamen stated that he'd heard from a 'knowledgeable source' that the man inside the rabbit suit was leading Democrat Lon Johnson.

Johnson became Chairperson of the Michigan Democratic Party in February and he is married to Julianna Smoot, a major Democratic fundraiser, former White House social secretary and Obama 2012 deputy campaign manager.
