| Over 20 members of Congress ask the FBI to review Ivanka Trump's security clearance |
| 2017-07-19 |
| [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. |

| #18 They will try to intimidate and throw mud and invent things she said, whatever it takes. Yes it is not their choice but that will not stop the attempt. Having said that they would probably be a lot happier with Ivanka who is still a registered Democrat if I remember correctly. |

| #17 Democrats doesn't have a say in this. We got over 60 millions deplorables that put Trump in the white house, who's to say that Ivanka cannot repeat the win? |

| #16 Democrats cannot allow the first woman president to be a Republican. They are done if that happens. |

| #15 Disregard the above, I was thinking Melania. Ivanka would be an excellent choice! |

| #14 'Ivanka 2024' Nice thought, too bad she was not born in the USA. |

| #13 She needs a deep background inspection. |

| #11 4.6% of the House. The low end of the bell curve I don't think the House uses the same Bell curve that you do, Frank. |

| #6 20 members of Congress sent a letter to the FBI to review Ivanka Trump's security clearance? And how many of these Congresscritters were Democrats? All? How many of these 20 have questioned Hillary's security clearance? None?. Does Hillary still have her security clearance? Yes? The Deep State and abetters at work. |

| #5 Gee, the Dems should ask their IT director about security clearances. Too bad he and his family defected to Pakistan. Excellent point Titus, and please add the author of the 30,000 disappeared gov't e-mails. |

| #4 Est repubs are also obstructing President Trump at every turn to neutralize and destroy his presidency. |

| #3 Right CF. They've got another 18 months to come up with something, or a basket of impeachable somethings. The 'free stuff' is clearly imperiled. The angry left wants Trump obstructed at every turn and out as soon as possible. |

| #2 Looking for something for the next 'collusion' story no doubt. And if they don't find anything - then the fact that they even asked proves collusion.... |

| #1 Kushner has updated his security clearance forms three times to add over 100 foreign contacts Notification and updating one's foreign contacts is entirely appropriate. But it does make one wonder how anyone besides his Security Manager or the Central Clearance Facility knew about the updates. Rhetorical question no doubt. |
