WASHINGTON - A White House whistleblower has said the Trump administration overruled security experts to give questionable security clearances to more than two dozen people, including the president’s daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Newbold’s allegations were laid out in a letter sent to the White House on Monday and released by Elijah Cummings, chairman of the House of Representatives Oversight Committee. Two sources familiar with the information obtained by the Oversight Committee said two of those three senior officials are Ivanka Trump and Kushner, her husband.
“I’m terrified of going back. I know that this will not be perceived in favor of my intentions, which is to bring back the integrity of the office,” she is quoted as saying in the letter Cummings sent to White House Counsel Pat Cipollone. Barr has said he will issue a redacted copy of Mueller’s full report by mid-April, but Democrats want it without redactions and have demanded it be given to them this week.
