House Democrats are gunning for Jared Kushner’s security clearance until the completion of the Russia investigation, citing concerns over contacts with Russian officials the Trump advisor and Presidential son-in-law reportedly failed to disclose.
Ranking Democrat Elijah Cummings (D-MD) wrote in a letter to White House chief of staff Reince Preibus;
“When there are credible allegations that employees may be unfit to continue accessing classified information, security clearances are supposed to be suspended while the allegations are investigated.”
“Mr. Kushner reportedly failed to disclose contacts with dozens of foreign officials on his security clearance application.”
Included in the letter is a demand by Democrats on the Oversight Committee for copies of Kushner’s security clearance application and for “all documents and communications referring or relating to Mr. Kushner’s contacts or communications with Russian government officials or business representatives.”

Considering Kushner’s r0le as a senior advisor to the President and a key player in Middle East peace negotiations, he would ostensibly have access to highly sensitive information. And while FBI special counsel Robert Mueller hasn’t formally identified Kushner as a person of interest in his probe into Russian meddling in US Politics, the Washington Post reported that a ‘senior advisor’ to the President was under investigation – which was subsequently identified as Jared Kushner by New York magazine, GQ, and Huffington Post contributor Yashar Ali.
Exactly. That is not always a specific title.

As iBankCoin reported six days ago, Kushner may be in a sticky situation over meetings with Russian government and banking officials during a time in which the Kushner family sought financing for a $1.8 billion office building on Fifth Avenue in New York.
The White House has said that the subsequent meeting with the banker was a pre-inauguration diplomatic encounter, unrelated to business matters. The Russian bank, Vnesheconombank, which has been the subject of U.S. sanctions following Russia’s annexation of Crimea, has said the session was held for business reasons because of Kushner’s role as head of his family’s real estate company. –WaPo
More recently, Kushner came under fire for reportedly trying to establish a diplomatic ‘back channel’ with Russia.
Hopefully Kushner will be cleared soon in Mueller’s FBI investigation… until then, it appears he’s a huge liability – as he seems to be the only remaining member of Trump’s team at this point who justifies the existence of the Russia probe.

I hope Trump let him go and put Ron Paul in his place
Kushner is a Chabad-Lubavitch asset and probably Mossad mole as well.
Elijah Cummings and the oversight committee are probably not in the loop and should double check with the dual shittizen cockroaches in the congress wrt Kushner. This also could be a tactic to put pressure on Kushner to get with the zionazi program and perform.
