I would have to assume you have zero experience with security clearances whereas I’ve had a TS/SCI w/ Poly since 1982. I’m not condoning the actions that took place but offering a plausible explanation of what might have transpired.
Were you nominated by the President and confirmed to the top position of a department?

How impressive! I must defer to your bureaucratic legalese that usurps the power of the duly elected Executive and his appointees to actually know what is going on in their departments and what federal bureaucrats are doing. /sarc
And just what black project would at the DOJ would justify denying the damned United States attorney general from knowing about it? Would it be naked pictures of James Comey? You refuse to admit that this was bureaucratic maneuvering to prevent the Trump Administration from controlling the DOJ.
IIRC, the President, in his role as the ultimate classification authority, can clear anyone for anything.
I don’t know if he did this, but it might come with the job.
