Lawmakers ask for review of Ivanka's security clearance
More than 20 lawmakers are questioning a security clearance for President Trump’s daughter amid the controversy of her brother and husband’s meeting with a Russian lawyer and businesspeople.
Ivanka Trump would have been required to disclose not only her foreign contacts, but those from Jared Kushner and Donald Trump Jr. as well, says a letter to the FBI from representatives including New York’s Jerrold Nadler and Nydia Velazquez.
Led by Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.), the group asked that acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe conduct a review of her security clearance process.
The reps referenced a New York Times report last week that Kushner had updated his contact list with more than 100 names, including Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya’s, since first applying for his clearance.
