Jared Kushner

Jared Kushner is at this moment trying to use his years of experience as a litigious slumlord to bring peace to the Middle East. But Democratic members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform are interested in more than just why Trump’s son-in-law is so fond of suing his tenants when they complain. In a letter addressed to Reince Priebus, they want to know why Kushner still has security credentials.

We have serious concerns about whether the White House is properly safeguarding classified information, and we are writing to request information about the security clearances of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, Senior Advisor to the President Jared Kushner, and other White House officials.

The majority of the letter is a catalog of things Kushner conveniently forgot to mention. Including …

Contacts with dozens of foreign officials ... Phone Calls with Russian Ambassador … Meeting at Trump Tower with General Flynn and Russian Ambassador … Meeting with Russian Bank Under Sanctions … Failure to Disclose Russian Contacts or Correct Public Record …

In addition to documenting each of these incidents, the letter also points out that Michael Flynn—who was along with Kushner on several of these escapades—also never had his clearance pulled, even when it was known that he’d definitely lied to Congress and supposedly lied to the White House.

It also points out that several of Trump’s surrogates have denied knowing the truth about Kushner. Which could be a bad thing.
