CBS: Trump Seeking Top-Secret Security Clearances for His Children

HeadlineNov 15, 2016

CBS News also reported Monday that Trump had asked for several of his adult children—Donald, Eric and Ivanka—and his son-in-law Jared Kushner to receive top security clearances, a claim which an official from Trump’s transition team denied during interviews with a pool of reporters later on Monday. The children were also named to Trump’s transition team last week. If Trump’s children were to receive security clearances, it could represent a conflict of interest, as his children are also running Trump’s vast business networks. Jared Kushner’s newspaper, the New York Observer, has also stopped printing paper copies of the iconic publication last week.
