Democrat demands information about Trump’s fired former personal assistant

Published March 13, 2018 7:24pm ET



The top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Tuesday asked the White House for more information about the security clearance of a personal assistant to President Trump who was fired just hours earlier.

Trump fired John McEntee for an unspecified security issue, and Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., responded by asking White House chief of staff John Kelly for all documents related to McEntee’s clearance. That includes his security clearance application, the investigative report from the FBI on McEntee, and records he was required to complete to work in the White House.
