In an appearance on MSNBC Friday evening, 35-year national security and intelligence veteran Malcolm Nance called for Jared Kushner’s security clearance to be revoked after it was revealed that he attempted to set up a secret backchannel communications line with the Russians.
Kushner failed to report the meeting with the Russian ambassador on his security clearance forms.
Nance, who has been ringing the alarm bells about the Trump-Russia scandal since the beginning, noted that under any other administration a staffer would immediately lose their security clearance if it was revealed they didn’t disclose this kind of information.
Nance also noted that if the reporting is correct, Kushner’s actions are “indicative of espionage activity.”
