House Oversight Committee approves subpoena for probe into White House security clearances

The House Oversight and Reform Committee voted to authorize a subpoena in connection with an investigation into the White House security clearance process.

In a party-line vote, the committee approved a subpoena for former White House Personnel Security Director Carl Kline to testify before the panel about his role in approving security clearances.The subpoena was authorized a day after the committee revealed that it interviewed a White House whistleblower who claimed that senior officials ignored national security concerns to approve security clearances for 25 individuals whose applications were initially denied.

NatashaBertrand This photo looks like a sci-fi movie.

This guy represents Detroit look at Detroit Why this stuff is elected is a complete wonder he does nothing Think not Then look at Detroit it’s a total waste

Not sure what it will prove. Follow the established process. Congress established that process. Let if play out.

Oh thank God. I thought the vote was for actually accomplishing something for the American people. Silly me.

What stupid people we have in government! When will the Dems start to work I the people’s business instead of thier personal beliefs!

The HouseDemocrats, after lying to us for TWO YEARS that they had SEEN evidence when there was none, today voted to compel AGBarr to release to THEM the full MuellerReport report SO THAT they can redact and hide from US what they don't want US to see. Unbelievable corruption.

Why don't these jokers do their job and stop campaigning!!!

🤣🤣🤣

RepCummings When you can't govern, have no ideas, are out of ways to drive wedges on race, gender, sexuality, wealth, you harass, resist and scream. No plan. No ideas. No leadership. Out of Touch. Hate that the economy is roaring. Today's DNC.

NatashaBertrand Very Important!!! I say!!! Together!!!🌿💚👍

You're so worried about clearances yet members of Congress are not even required to have a clearance, only a routine background check. You have access to very sensitive information without a clearance.

This needs to be looked into. Thank you House!!!

Go get 'em Rep. Cummings. Time for this shit show to end.

Jared and Ivanka are selling state secrets.

It is laughable to hear Jim Jordan and other GOP whine like a little babies and say they have never seen such dastardly behavior, when that dastardly behavior is the exact same thing they have been doing for years

morgfair RepCummings Have you looked into all the persons who intentionally lied to the people of the world these past 3-yrs? $30+ MILLION has already been spent targeting realDonaldTrump & his family. Enough already.

Will the media cover the backfiring and embarrassment

When are they going to investigate that dossier

OversightDems Why don't these Socialist sanctuary dim morons want to know if youareacitizen, on the census ? Looking for extra congressional seats and electoral votes ? NO. Investigate why congress is not securing our border.

MalcolmNance A week late but go get em, I guess? Grow some, Dems!

This many public hearings relative to just about everything Trump decides is looking like “piling on” and smacks a little like McCarthyism. It seems like the House Dems seem to want to through enough crap at Trump, hoping that eventually something will stick. Not a good approach

The Democrats or rather Ass-Clowns, won’t stop until they find someone. So rev up that investigation engine, 2 yrs an $25million wasn’t enough.

It’s getting kind of tiring. The Dems publicly hold hearings to investigate everything the Trump White House does. I can’t stand Trump, and think he is delusional in most of his decisions, but i thought the final decision on security clearances is prerogative of the White House

RepCummings : keep issuing suponeas. Many more in the queue

Reason to not vote democrat

AllResistNews Thank you!

NatashaBertrand Great.

NatashaBertrand

The trump White House continues to believe they are above the law and can set their own rules

Go get 'em.

MalcolmNance EC is a G 😎

bettyonline011 Thank you RepCummings. RepAdamSchiff, RepJerryNadler . We would be so screwed without you. ReleaseTheFullMuellerReportNOW

RepCummings please explain to the public why you have subpoenaed trump’s tax returns yet. It’s been 90 days since you took back the House. This is unacceptable. The American people DEMAND oversight.

DemocRATS/Corrupt media just can’t help themselves😂😂 zero creditability or ethics EnemyOfThePeople

More harassment!

twzzler2 This is a HUGE scandal, and one so simple even Republicans can understand it. He gave our most sensitive secrets to people likely to sell them to our enemies Also-today revealed a Chinese spy was caught in Mara Largo with flash drives ButHerEmails right?

can’t wait to see this play out

MalcolmNance Thank you RepCummings

MalcolmNance YES!! THANK YOU.. NOW GET THAT MUELLER REPORT.

Has Trump given Putin a security clearance yet? He might be the next one in line since Trump seems to give them out as gifts.

There are questions that needs to be answered... traitors...

OversightDems ❤️❤️❤️

SchmoopyWoopy ICYMI 🦅🇺🇸 realDonaldTrump

MalcolmNance Keep up the good work!

The security clearance issue seems to be a done deal. The census issue is extremely more important.

MalcolmNance Good. Time to go after the rats.

Trump was down to 17 investigations, now he's back to 18.

do outspoken anti Americans get a security clearance?

What another investigation? Really, why aren't they doing their job and taking care of the country instead of their dumbass investigations. They let Schiff have a security clearance. That should tell you something.

OversightDems

Thank you, RepCummings, for looking out for the American public.

OversightDems Where is the investigation into Awan security clearances or the waiving of them. A grave matter of national security, but you conveniently sweep that under the rug, bcuz it implicates many of you. And where did that server disappear to? RepCummings SpeakerPelosi Jim_Jordan

OversightDems Good! It’s about time. Who knows what kind of National Security we have remaining after this administration & their GOP cronies.

Thanks for trying to do the right thing and for doing your job. You will be blessed for staying true to your oath. Much love!

Thank You, Thanks, Thanks. 🌞 throw Trump and his awful thugs out, LOCK THEM UP! These people have no clue about government. They only no, government greed over public need.

I feel like screaming 'free at last' - of Trump that is - and all the corruption around him. I don't see the GOP surviving

Much ado about nothing because the president can do that lol.

Welcome to oversight and accountability, Folks!

Lol, sourpusses

The President has the authority to issue or revoke security clearances. What about Killary and the rest of Barry’s gang

Why doesn't this guy ever get investigated? He's an obvious Racist and Bias in his Own Decisions

And this guy doesn’t see that he’s melting away like chocolate but remains clinging onto political office.

This looks like he’s about to get killed with a lightsaber.

Thank you

There needs to be oversight on the oversight committee. It’s run by a racist anti-American socialist thug.

Did they do a subpoena to see if he put the toilet seat down?

WASTE MORE MONEY U IDIOTS ..... keep digging, u might uncover an unpaid parking ticket Pres T got ..... guess what .... PRESIDENTS can have their OWN rules to clearance .... HELLO don't u know that? Just look at who OBAMA let in ... DUH

Like a kick in the chest to the corrupt gop and WhiteHouse

Same person who wanted to come on their own. America HATE politics on both sides.

Cummings should have been careful about the boxes he opens... this one may belong to Pandora.

Are you guys ever going to legislate ? Legislate. Don’t investigate

elijah cummings isnt fucking around

LOL Let's start from 2008?

This comes after a whistleblower claimed that 25 people got security clearances despite initially being rejected due to national security concerns

Its time to bring this out in the open What are SECRET grand juries? What are SECRET courts? What are SECRET warrants? What kind of government believes JUSTICE should be served in secret?

Great, lets get this show on the road already!

It’s about time! Please make the findings on the security clearances public RepCummings

Pandora's Box is about to be opened.

Out of control Fake President. TrumpMustGo

EvilBobJ Excellent.

This is a joke.

....move the committee to the White House

I wonder if the interview will be under oath and on the record generating a transcript of the session?

Democrats threaten subpoenas over White House security clearances for Kushner, othersHouse Oversight Democrats are intensifying their search for answers about White House security clearances, preparing a subpoena as soon as this week for the former White House personnel security director to testify. BolsonaroDay When one cannot govern in the best interest of a nation. I gather one subpoena's everything. Here's a better question: Samantha Power’s name was used to request the unmasking of over 260+ names in 2016. Why was Power (or someone using her name?) unmasking so many American’s that she/they averaged more than 1 request for every working day in 2016?

House panel votes to subpoena former White House official over security clearancesThe move comes after whistleblower Tricia Newbold’s allegation that her superior, Carl Kline, overruled multiple clearance denials and then retaliated against her when she objected. FYI: duly elected President has executive privilege to give anyone Security clearance. Just more liberal propaganda from The Washington Post. Is the Washington Post failing faster than the New York times,? I'm glad the Trump and his Republican thugs are being introduced to the word: accountability. The word has been absence from government since 2016.
