White House refuses to hand over documents to House panel related to security clearances of Jared Kushner, others
White House counsel Pat Cipollone sent a letter Monday to Cummings, who chairs the House oversight committee investigating the matter. The letter said President Donald Trump’s administration would brief the committee about security clearance processes, but would not provide documents explaining the process for granting security clearances to top Trump aides like Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law. Cipollone’s letter called the request “radically intrusive.
In a response Tuesday, Cummings called the existing security clearance system “broken” and announced plans to consult with committee members on the next step. — Alex Moe March 5, 2019 “The White House’s argument defies the Constitutional separation of powers, decades of precedent before this Committee, and just plain common-sense,” Cummings wrote. “The White House security clearance system is broken, and it needs both congressional oversight and legislative reform.”
