Ivanka Trump now has full security clearance, too

Ivanka Trump now has full security clearance, too

Ivanka Trump's security clearance was upgraded to full Top Secret at the same time as Jared Kushner's upgrade on May 1, according to a person briefed on the matter. The White House declined to comment on this story.

Why it matters: Ivanka's security clearance status hasn't always been known, and there was speculation she wouldn't obtain full security clearance after CNN reported the FBI was investigating one of her international business deals back in March.

The details:

Ivanka Trump was only ever granted interim Top Secret security clearance last June.
She was upgraded to full Top Secret clearance on May 1.
Jared Kushner's security clearance was downgraded by Chief of Staff John Kelly to "interim secret" in February. He now has full Top Secret security clearance.

Is Trump handing them out like Halloween candy to his family and cronies?

+ kleptocracy. We already have kakistocracy, so these are welcome additions for the Trumps, I'm sure.

Needs to hurry up. Not with an end to the full investigation but if he has indictments for Kushner/Cohen/Stone he needs to get those rolling. We don’t have time to wait till November. Even if Dems win the House and investigations of trump & company begin in earnest in January that will still take months. After reading about the Qatar incident Kushner needs to be removed ASAP.
