Analysis: The president’s and Ivanka Trump’s egregious deception on security clearances
Ivanka Trump, then-White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and White House senior adviser Jared Kushner attend a Cabinet meeting in 2018, at the White House. By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow March 1 at 8:44 AM President Trump and those around him are no strangers to issuing false or misleading denials. But this is one of their most egregious to date.
Setting that aside, though, both the president and his daughter Ivanka Trump, Kushner’s spouse, have issued denials that now look ridiculous. It’s theoretically possible Trump would have done this without his daughter’s knowledge, but The Post reports that’s not the case. According to my colleagues, Trump acted after she and Kushner “pressured the president to grant Kushner the long-delayed clearance.”
