WASHINGTON - Two House Democrats are requesting that the acting White House chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, revoke the security clearance for President Donald Trump's senior advisor and son-in-law Jared Kusher.
In a letter to Mulvaney on Thursday, Reps. Don Beyer of Virginia and Ted Lieu of California requested that Kushner's clearance be pulled, citing a recent NBC report that a supervisor overruled the recommendation he not be approved for clearance.
"The White House's pattern of hiding the truth and devious behavior with regard to Mr. Kushner's security clearance suggests that the Administration does not take information security seriously," the lawmakers wrote. "This problem is underscored by NBC's reporting that 'Kushner's was one of at least 30 cases in which Kline overruled career security experts and approved a top-secret clearance for incoming Trump officials despite unfavorable information.'"
The letter also notes that White House officials have not been compliant with oversight requests from Congress on the issue of security clearances.
The letter comes as the House Oversight and Reform Committee is probing the security clearance process in the Trump administration.
Oversight Chairman and Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings said in a statement the objectives of the investigations "are to determine why the White House and Transition Team appear to have disregarded established procedures for safeguarding classified information, evaluate the extent to which the nation's most highly guarded secrets were provided to officials who should not have had access to them, and develop reforms to remedy the flaws in current White House systems and practices."

House Report Concluded Pakistanis Made Unauthorized Access To House Congressional Servers
LUKE ROSIAK, Daily Caller Investigative Reporter , 01/16/2018
---SNIP---Rep. Ted Lieu Democrat of California, employed Abid Awan. Lieu is a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The staffer that I used, there was no allegation, he told a TV station. If you look at the charge of the brother, he was charged with bank fraud that has nothing to do with national security.
Prosecutors contend in court filings that the Pakistani Awan clan committed bank fraud as the way to finance their absconding to Pakistan........b/c investigations into their shady House IT activities had commenced.
====================================
Brothers Abid and Imran were US govt employees cashing US govt paychecks (read tax dollars). They handled Congressional datasensitive top secret data. Months at a time Imran ran House IT IN pakistan - an active terrorist country, handling US intel without supervision. Yet Lieu never said a word. Congressional House Democrats who also employed Imran said nothing.
Taxpayers must demand answers: <><> How did the Awans get a sensitive jobs in the US Congress? <><> Were they given preference over American job-seekers? <><> Claiming to be naturalized American citizens, did they falsify credentials and US govt documents? <><> did Ted Lieu sign-off on Imrans trips to Pakistan? <><> did Ted Lieu inform others that Imran conducted IT work for the House in Pakistan? <><> did Ted Lieu inform constituents their emails were being accessed in a terrorist-sponsored country? <><> did Ted Lieu keep Abid on as his IS advisor after his shady deals were exposed?
TAXPAYERS DEMAND TO KNOW WHY TED LIEU AND DEMOCRATS ALLOWED A US GOVT EMPLOYEE
TO HANDLE US INTEL AND THEIR AMERICAN CONSTITUENTS PERSONAL EMAILS IN A TERRORIST-SPONSORED COUNTRY
The Awan clan consisted of two brothers, two wives, one a Russian national, one known friend, and a host of ghost employees in the US Congress sucking up tax dollars.
Taxpayers demand to know the extent of Ted Lieu's assistance to (A) the three House members of the House intelligence panel, and, (B) the five House members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, among the dozens of elected Democrats employing the Pakistani ITs.
DEMOCRAT TED LIEU KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS?
APRIL 2016 THE PAKI SCAM IS UNVEILED---
Alarm bells went off when House computer security officials reported irregularities in tech equipment purchases......
Specifically, the theft of hundreds of thousands of dollars in US government property.
The initial evidence pointed to (a) five Paki IT staffers, and, (b) Congressional Democrats that employed them.
DEMOCRAT TED LIEU KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS?
The Paki scam quickly exploded into:
<><> (A) multiple charges of conspiracy against the United States of America,
<><>(B) double-billing Congress,
<><> (C) placing ghost employees on the govt payroll,
<><> (D) stealing govt issue electronics,
<><> (E) submitting falsified documents,
<><> (F) mortgage scams,
<><>(G) shady wire transfers to Pakistan, and,
<><>(H) Congressional bank fraud.
Democrats hired this bunch to boost their diversity credentials....sucking up for votes is never far from their small minds.

The only way this ComDem insanity is going to stop?
Will come when some of them are Tried, Convicted, Sentenced and go to JAIL.
It will NOT STOP before that.
Lieu is an ignorant stupid hack.
He seems to be a very effective behind-the-scenes negotiator for Trump
Its a farce for any democrat to profess concern about security clearances
I think the 2 Israel-hating muzzie women just elected to Congress are in much more dire need of having any of their security clearances revoked. Who doesn’t think they would turn over national secrets to their Hamas and ISIS buddies in a heartbeat?
Surely they want to revoke Hillary’s.
Anyone whom the Left thinks is effective supporting President Trump will be targeted for removal.
It's really about isolating Trump from all support structures.
-PJ
First they have to be arrested and charged then: Tried, Convicted, Sentenced and then go to JAIL.
Why stop at Kushner? Why not go on to Ivanka? No, Pence...he’s the evil one. If anyone can’t be trusted it’s Trump. Take away his security clearance. Impeach 45!
Let’s give up this Kushner bashing. It leads to no good.
And these people were equally concerned about the security discipline of Hillary, Obama, Val Jerad, Susan Rice, etc....
Congressman dont get background checks to get their security clearances. They come with the job on a need to know basis and tradition.
In other words,up your @ss with a ten foot pole.....
White House staff theoretically get background checks, but there’s no ‘pass-fail’. There are just recommendations from lower-level bureaucrats, with the decision actually made by the President or his Chief of Staff. No doubt the bureaucrats involved are Obama-Clinton loyalists.
In a nutshell - not their call.
This is like the next door neighbors deciding they want me to change the colors of my living room walls.
>>Ivanka should have married Tom Brady!<<
They would have made the Kwisatz Haderach, whose sister would NOT have gone on to star in innumerable Hallmark Christmas movies.
(caution multi-layered geekdom)
OMG!! What the AWANS GOT AWAY WITH CURLS MY HAIR!!
