Kushner Amends Security Clearance Form With More Than 100 Foreign Contacts
Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner just submitted an amended security clearance form with more than 100 foreign contacts.
Kushner was required to disclose any contacts he had with foreign nationals as part of getting his security clearance form, however, after it was revealed that Kushner failed to disclose meetings with the Russian ambassador and a Russian banker close to Putin he was forced to amend the forms.
In a New York Times report about how the Trump administration is dealing with the crisis, sources reveal that Kushner has updated his foreign contacts disclosure list three separate times since first getting his security clearance — and has added “more than 100 names” to the list.
“Also under scrutiny is how forthcoming Mr. Kushner was with his father-in-law about the nature of the June meeting. He met with Mr. Trump to discuss the issue, according to advisers to the White House, around the time he updated his federal disclosure form to include Ms. Veselnitskaya’s name on a list of foreign contacts that Mr. Kushner was required to submit to the F.B.I. to obtain a security clearance,” The New York Times report notes.
It was revealed by a series of bombshell reports in The New York Times that Jared Kushner attended a meeting in June with Donald Trump Jr. and Paul Manafort at Trump Tower with a Russian lawyer who promised damaging information from the Russian government. Trump Jr. released an email chain on Tuesday that confirmed he and the Trump campaign sought to collude with Russia during the election.
