The House Oversight Committee voted Tuesday to issue a subpoena a former White House security director based on a whistleblower's claims that about 25 people in President Donald Trump's administration received security clearances despite officials recommending that their applications be denied.
Whistleblower Tricia Newbold, who has been a security clearance official for 18 years, spoke with Republicans and Democrats on the committee in a private interview on March 23, according to Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md. According to Cummings, the whistleblower said that the list of approximately 25 individuals whose denials were overruled"had a wide range of serious disqualifying issues involving foreign influence, conflicts of interest, concerning personal conduct, financial problems, drug use, and criminal conduct."
Kline reportedly suspended Newbold for two weeks without pay in January — days after Kline reportedly overruled security officials' recommendation Jared Kushner be denied a top secret clearance. NBC News reported that her suspension decision notice said that action was taken for Newbold's defiance of authority.

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.

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?

Investigation into alleged voter suppression in Texas, Kansas expanded by House Oversight CommitteeHouse Democrats have made voters’ rights a key priority this Congress. Democrats are against suppressing the votes of illegals Call me skeptical but the party that for two years said Russia/Trump altered the outcome of the election but still opposed voter ID laws isn't serious about the issue. Good article, but the Post needs to hire a decent copy editor.
