John Bowden writes in The Hill that the White House was made aware two weeks ago that Jared Kushner’s application for security clearance would, for unspecified reasons, be further delayed:
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein warned White House officials two weeks ago of additional issues with senior White House aide Jared Kushner‘s security clearance that would further delay his application, The Washington Post reported Friday.
