White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly announced Friday that beginning next week, the White House will no longer allow some employees with interim security clearances access to top-secret information a move that could threaten the standing of Jared Kushner, President Trumps son-in-law.
Kushner, a senior adviser to the president, has been able to see some of the nations most sensitive secrets even as his background investigation has dragged on for more than a year.
<snip>
A senior administration official with knowledge of Kellys thinking said that the chief of staff has been frustrated with Kushners high level of access without a final clearance and that he was aware the new policies announced Friday could jeopardize Kushners ability to carry out his duties in the West Wing. The move puts a bulls eye on Kushner, the official said.
White House senior adviser Jared Kushner has had access to top-secret information while his security clearance investigation is pending.
A spokesman for Kushner did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

(53,925 posts)4. We know he's a liar. He lied on Congesswoman Wilson and in this wife beater scandal.
And speaking of wife beaters, he wanted Porter to stay and tough out not having a clearance but now he's allegedly "frustrated" that others in the admin don't have one.
He 's not just a liar but a huge hypocrite.

(16,515 posts)5. Jareds been pretty scarce lately
Probably getting in some quality time with his family before he puts on the orange jumpsuit. Maybe his dad can give him his old uniform. Make it a father-son bonding moment.

He went to the Middle East to bring peace there and failed and I don't know what he's been up to since.

for 666 Fifth Avenue. He has a deadline.

John F. Kelly is a demented sheep in a wolf's clothing.
