Jared Kushner to Get Security Clearance After Months-Long FBI Check

HeadlineMay 24, 2018

A White House official said Wednesday that President Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner has been granted permanent security clearance, allowing him to view highly classified documents. For over a year, the FBI refused to grant Kushner permanent clearance, after he failed to report over 100 foreign contacts on his initial application, which he has since revised three times. Meanwhile, reports emerged that Kushner met with special counsel Mueller’s investigators for a second time last month, answering questions over a seven-hour period.
