President Trump ordered his chief of staff to grant his son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, a top-secret security clearance last year, overruling concerns flagged by intelligence officials and the White House’s top lawyer, four people briefed on the matter said.
Mr. Trump’s decision in May so troubled senior administration officials that at least one, the White House chief of staff at the time, John F. Kelly, wrote a contemporaneous internal memo about how he had been “ordered” to give Mr. Kushner the top-secret clearance.
The disclosure of the memos contradicts statements made by the president, who told The New York Times in January in an Oval Office interview that he had no role in his son-in-law receiving his clearance.
Time to reign in executive power to overrule who should be given top secret clearance. Oh, and the 1,000,001th lie of Trump's presidency saying that he didn't do anything to make that happen.
Trump would lie to the janitor about what he had for breakfast!
As usual, it's not a problem and none of your business.
Trump's staff wrote memo's to cover their butts. Trump is just a liar.
When I say this it gets deleted.
