House Democrats Call On FBI To Review Ivanka’s Security Clearance For “Similar Deception” To Jared’s

USA Today reports:



A group of 20 House Democrats is calling on the FBI to review Ivanka Trump’s security clearance as her husband and presidential adviser, Jared Kushner, is under scrutiny for failing to disclose meetings with Russians during and after her father’s presidential campaign.

Kushner has updated his disclosure forms multiple times, including to account for a meeting at Trump Tower with several Russians including Kremlin-linked lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and Russian-American lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin.

“We are concerned that Ivanka Trump may have engaged in similar deception,” the House Democrats wrote in a letter obtained by USA TODAY. The July 19 letter to FBI acting director Andrew McCabe notes that disclosure laws require declaration of foreign contacts by the clearance holder’s spouse and siblings.
