Sen. Chuck Grassley watches as Jared Kushner speaks with President Trump during a signing ceremony for the criminal justice reform bill.“President Trump ordered his chief of staff to grant his son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, a top-secret security clearance last year, overruling concerns flagged by intelligence officials and the White House’s top lawyer, four people briefed on the matter said,” according to a“Mr.

they report. “The White House counsel at the time, Donald F. McGahn II, also wrote an internal memo outlining the concerns that had been raised about Mr. Kushner — including by the C.I.A. — and how Mr. McGahn had recommended that he not be given a top-secret clearance.”“The disclosure of the memos contradicts statements made by the president, who told the New York Times in January in an Oval Office interview that he had no role in his son-in-law receiving his clearance,” report the Times.

Pathetic. They got nothing on Russia collusion or obstruction so they’re just gonna keep up the circus w/hearings to cause as much damage as they can b4 the 2020 election. Schiff should show us the proof of collusion he’s been saying he’s personally seen for the past 2yrs.

Sound like the Dems. and the Media are more concerned with getting Trump then serving the good the Country. Who should be investigated here, who is trying to overturn the Elected Government, and who spending Billions on self promoting agendas?

What's everyone probing, again? AllHatNoCattle

That's an outrage! It's clearly not enough...

ETTD

Witch hunt continues...the new Washington norm...investigate your political opponents until you find a crime. So sad! So unAmerican where you must follow evidence to find the criminal responsible for the wrong doing. AdamSchiff isn’t following evidence of anything wrong doing!

well if it wasn't a witch hunt it's becoming clear it is one now

So obsessed. So deranged. Such a waste of potential coordination and cooperation. It's all just so sad... and predictable.

Of course. The Russian Collusion accusations are falling apart. They need to start investigating some other BS.

Hey feckless WP, report this!!!
