Kushner says he never discussed security clearance with Trump

Source: The Hill

White House senior adviser Jared Kushner denied that he discussed his security clearance with President Trump, despite reports that his father-in-law personally ordered the clearance against the recommendations of some career officials.

Kushner, appearing in an episode of "Axios on HBO" which aired Sunday, denied discussing the clearance with Trump.

The House Oversight and Reform Committee is currently conducting an investigation into the White House's handling of security clearances for administration officials.

A whistleblower told committee staff in early April that Trump administration officials overruled career officials in 25 instances in order to grant security clearances to employees despite “disqualifying issues” in their backgrounds.

Everyone of these Trump family morons belong someplace any place but our Whitehouse. This presidency is illegitimate, a bastard presidency given to all of us by Russian intelligence propagandizing of ignorant Americans. If any of them (the Trumps) are even of average intelligence they will seek asylum from their fascist compatriots in Russia, Sadia Arabia, etc. And get the fuck out of Dodge asap.
