Grassley & Blumenthal Seek Answers about ... Security Clearance Process
The last question posed to WH Counsel McGahn and FBI Director Wray ...
Please describe the process and timeline for investigating and adjudicating the security clearance application of former White House Staff Secretary Rob Porter. Did the FBI provide updates to the White House regarding Mr. Porter while Mr. Porter's security clearance application was pending? If so, when? What information was provided in each update? Director Wray testified before Congress that soon after the FBI completed a background investigation on Mr. Porter in late July of last year, "we received requests for follow-up inquiry, and we did the follow-up and provided that information in November." What were the requests for follow-up inquiry and who made them? What follow-up information was provided in November and to whom?
