An ethics chief under former President Barack Obama on Thursday compared the college admissions scandal to President Donald Trump reportedly pressuring White House officials to grant top-secret security clearances to his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
Shaub linked that controversy to the biggest college admissions bribery case ever prosecuted by the Department of Justice. On Tuesday, 50 people were charged in the case, including top financiers, CEOs, college sports coaches and Hollywood celebrities. The scandal resurfaced scrutiny over Kushner’s acceptance into Harvard University, given reports that he was admitted shortly after his father pledged $2.5 million to the Ivy League school.
“Nepotism displayed in the privileges given to President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, constitutes a national security issue,” CREW tweeted, and linked to a Newsweek story that quotes its executive director, Noah Bookbinder.
