The White House dismissed six aides on Thursday after the staffers failed FBI background checks. Some of the aides were physically "walked out of the building by security" a day earlier.
Those affected had failed the SF86, a Questionnaire for National Security Positions used to determine whether a government employee is eligible for a security clearance. The test takes into consideration a person's credit score, substance use and various personal subjects.
Caroline Wiles was among the six escorted off the property. Wiles worked as Trump's scheduling director and is the daughter of Susan Wiles, who managed Trump's Florida campaign.
Wiles had resigned on Friday before the results of the test were released. She had worked s deputy assistant secretary during the transition period. Sources told Politico she is going to work for the Treasury Department in light of her inability to return to the White House.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
Then why did three soviet spies pass them with flying colors?
Tell me the names of the spies and I might be able to answer your question. In at least one high profile case, the suspected spy repeatedly “flunked” polygraphs but nobody in internal security raised a red flag. In at least one other such case, the suspect had mastered techniques to minimize the ability of the polygraph to detect deception. This is a very rare ability that most of us can’t acquire.
Yes, I know, but I meant that Bill would not have been able to get a security clearance if he had tried. I didn’t make myself clear. Chalk it up to my OBS (Old Brain Syndrome).
Don’t even think Huma Abedin took a security background check? Be interesting to know.
