The nuanced day-to-day business of the White House means that some senior officials must have classified information available to them.

The first family batted away accusations that President Donald Trump abused his power by forcing through top-secret security clearances for daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, despite protests from senior White House and intelligence officials.

Days after this story appeared, CNN reported that Ivanka Trump had been given the same treatment, once again despite the warnings of senior White House and intelligence staff. Earlier this month, the first daughter told ABC News that her father had “zero” influence in securing her clearance. Bradley Moss, a partner at the Washington, D.C., law office of Mark S. Zaid, P.C., and an expert whose specialties include national security and security clearance law, told Newsweek that top-secret clearance did not necessarily give the couple free-rein access to America’s most potent secrets.

Moss explained, “The press secretary needs to be able to sit in on and provide input on policy matters, including with respect to foreign policy. Senior advisers with 'walk-in' privileges to the Oval Office need to be able to execute that privilege without concern for what particular meeting might be going on or documents might be visible at the time.

Last week, Kushner traveled to Saudi Arabia to meet with Salman for the first time since Khashoggi's murder. It is not known what the two discussed, and embassy staff has reported being shut out of meetings during his trip. Just weeks after representatives from Kushner Companies were turned away once again, the White House came out in support of a Saudi- and UAE-led economic and diplomatic blockade on Qatar, launched in protest over Qatar’s alleged support of terrorism.

What experience do they have? What is their main purpose? Are they there as a front runners to gather information while 45 Puppet creates distractions...Hmmmm

If they didn’t have access to “Top Secret” information, then what in God’s name would they trade to foreign governments for hundreds of millions of dollars?

THEY NEED TOP secret / Special Compartmentalized Information in order to gain access to material to pass on to Netanyahu. Kushner is a long established Mossad operative and White House plant. He only has allegiance to Israel, with no regard to US national security or interests.

They don't and they shouldn't. Too much nepotism in this administration!

Simply because Trump has incorporated America into his business empire and his family and friends must have access to everything

Ostensibly because the President and others in the administration are sharing confidential information with them. After all, Jared Kushner has visited the Middle East and made peace overtures on behalf of the President.

Because big Daddy wants it!!!

The same way these celebrities are paying for their kids admission to college SMH

Because daddy said so. Brats!

Duh. Follow the money.

Rhetorical question?

You can't sell the secrets if you don't have access to the secrets.

Exactly! Why? And why does your kid have to be your advisor?

They know trump can’t put his pants on let alone run a country.

Bc she’s going to be our First Femal President.

Grifters gonna grift grift grift.

Great question. realDonaldTrump Can you provide the answer?

Why U ask? Well, it's simple ... Bc the ₩orld 🌎 knows that for the Family of Grifters ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING is for $ale or has a price tag 🏷 that includes America and everything in it!!! And these are the Salespersons

they serve foreign countries interest such as MBS and MBZ both are committing war crimes in Yemen

Now there’s a good question! Only answer I can come up with is that perhaps they translate and edit to short sentences for Donald.

Those state secrets are not going to sale themselves...

So they can read top secret materials and spoon feed a 3rd grade translation to our dear leader.

Because they advise the President.

To help foreign governments spy on the USA.

Why does Trump need top secret security clearance? He doesn't want to hear any of the reports.
