Traitor given security clearances despite red flags

[someoneyouknow]

According to NBC, two career White House security specialists denied Kushner's application for the top secret security clearance because of the red flags raised by the FBI background check about potential foreign influence, and their supervisor, Carl Kline, overruled that decision and approved the clearance. Kushner's was "one of at least 30 cases" in which Kline did so, and they reported that the number of rejections overruled was "unprecedented."

"It had only happened once in the three years preceding Kline's arrival" in May 2017, NBC reported.

According to NBC, again citing two people familiar with the matter, the CIA officers reviewing Kushner's information "balked" and "one called over to the White House security division, wondering how Kushner got even a top secret clearance." NBC reported that the CIA has not granted Kushner that SCI clearance.

As a result, Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings, Chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, launched an investigation into the White House's security clearance process.

Cummings launched his investigation into the White House's security clearance process citing "grave breaches of national security at the highest levels of the Trump Administration."
