Trump doesn’t give a flying F about National Security. It’s Trump’s FIRST.
"Kushner’s clearance was denied twice by two White House security experts because of FBI concerns about foreign influence on Kushner. But they were overruled by Carl Kline.”

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump have had disclosure problems. Now we know that they both worked for months at the White House without full security clearances.
It now seems that the Office of Personnel Management, which had outsourced its data storage to other Federal agencies, has lost an astonishing 18 million personnel records, including most of those involving security clearances. The information is now in the hands of unknown hackers who almost certainly have bartered the stolen information to willing buyers. Most experts think…
