WaPo: Officials in 4 Countries Tried to Manipulate Kushner Through Business Ties

HeadlineFeb 28, 2018

White House senior adviser and President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has reportedly had his top security clearances stripped, meaning he’ll no longer be able to access highly classified information. The Washington Post reports Kushner has been unable to obtain permanent security clearance because of concerns within the White House about his contact with some foreign government officials. The Post reports officials in at least four countries—the United Arab Emirates, China, Israel and Mexico—had discussed ways to manipulate Kushner by taking advantage of his business ties, his financial problems, as well as his lack of foreign policy experience. Kushner is tasked with overseeing a Middle East peace process, in addition to an array of other high-profile responsibilities, including U.S.-China relations.
