Over 20 members of Congress ask the FBI to review Ivanka Trump's security clearance
[Yahoo] WASHINGTON -- Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., has some questions about President Trump’s daughter, Ivanka.Beyer put together a group of over 20 Democratic members of the House of Representatives who sent a letter to Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe on Wednesday asking him to "conduct a review of a potentially serious issue involving First Daughter and Assistant to the President, Ivanka Trump." The group wants to know if Ivanka properly filled out Standard Form 86 (SF-86), which is the security clearance required for federal officials. Their questions stem from recent revelations involving Ivanka’s husband, Jared Kushner, who is also a top White House adviser, and her brother, Donald Trump Jr. The SF-86 asks whether "you or any member of your immediate family" has had "any contact" with a "foreign government, its establishment ... or its representatives" in the past seven years. Kushner has updated his security clearance forms three times to add over 100 foreign contacts, including a meeting he attended with Donald Trump Jr. during last year’s presidential election, where they spoke with a Russian lawyer who offered them damaging information on President Trump’s opponent on behalf of the Russian government. Beyer said the news raised questions about whether Ivanka has also updated her forms and whether she included all of her family’s foreign contacts. Posted by: Besoeker 2017-07-19 |
