President Donald Trump had"the absolute right" to order that his son-in-law Jared Kushner be given top-secret security clearance over White House concerns — if that is in fact what happened — Trump's senior advisor Kellyanne Conway said Friday.
"Today, I am writing in light of grave new reports that—just eight days after the Committee launched this investigation—President Trump may have falsely claimed that he played no role in the security clearance process," wrote Cummings, the committee's chairman. The Times report contradicts repeated denials by Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump — Kushner's wife — that the president did not order aides to give Kushner that level of security clearance after sustained concerns about him from intelligence agencies.
Kushner's clearance was delayed for more than a year because of questions about his"foreign and business contacts, including those related to Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Russia," The Times reported, citing multiple sources familiar with the situation.
