Donald Trump would be denied a federal security clearance if he tried to get one | The Hill

Our intelligence services are consumed with battling a new "Axis of Evil." The updated phrase, first coined in 2002, now refers to Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. This powerful authoritarian alliance is determined to meddle in elections, launch cyberattacks, destabilize and wage wars against America and its allied democracies around the world. 

In this context, consider the likelihood that, starting next Jan. 20, sensitive secrets will be viewed by the most notorious national security risk living outside a federal penitentiary…

FBI revokes security clearances from Jim Jordan’s latest witnesses

When Jordan talks about his allied "whistleblowers" from within the FBI, who are eager to bolster his conspiracy theories about government agencies mistreating poor conservative victims, these are some of the folks he's referring to. 

As for the fact at least some of his alleged "whistleblowers" have also received financial support from a top Trump ally, the beleaguered committee chairman insisted this morning that this shouldn't undermine their credibility. 

No, of course not. Heaven forbid…

Federal employees in debt can lose security clearance - The Washington Post

Being in debt is common, but the implications are worse for some. Federal employees and contractors, and candidates for sensitive government jobs who owe money face far more serious consequences than average Americans with financial liabilities. Debt can ruin careers of federal workers and block job applicants from getting good government gigs. Not holding a security clearance is synonymous with not holding a job in certain fields. Access to classified information, required for many positions in intelligence and defense-related agencies and companies, often is denied because employees or applicants are in the red. Unless you are the president.....

Kushner, Inc: Vicky Ward on How Jared and Ivanka’s Greed & Ambition Comp...

House Democrats are continuing to probe how President Trump’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner received a top-secret security clearance despite concerns from the CIA. The New York Times recently reported Trump ordered then-Chief of Staff John Kelly to grant Kushner the clearance despite the judgment of intelligence officials. Kushner failed to report over 100 foreign contacts on his initial application for clearance, which was denied by the FBI after a background check into his financial history and contacts with foreign investors. Kushner later revised his application three times, and was ultimately granted permanent security clearance last May. We speak with Vicky Ward, the author of a new book uncovering details about how Kushner has continued to let the financial dealings of his family impact the policy decisions he promoted overseas. In one case, this almost led to a war in the Middle East between Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The book is called “Kushner, Inc.: Greed. Ambition. Corruption. The Extraordinary Story of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.” ...
