Democratic investigation into Trump security clearances targets Jared Kushner

The House Oversight Committee has launched an investigation into White House security clearances that targets some of President Trump’s closest advisers, including his son-in-law Jared Kushner.

In an 11-page letter to White House counsel Pat Cipollone sent Wednesday, Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., says that the investigation will look into why the White House and Trump’s transition team “appear to have disregarded established procedures for safeguarding classified information.”
