Kushner Omitted Meeting With Russians on Security Clearance Forms
By JO BECKER and MATTHEW ROSENBERG
APRIL 6, 2017
When Jared Kushner, President Trumps son-in-law and senior adviser, sought the top-secret security clearance that would give him access to some of the nations most closely guarded secrets, he was required to disclose all encounters with foreign government officials over the last seven years.
But Mr. Kushner did not mention dozens of contacts with foreign leaders or officials in recent months. They include a December meeting with the Russian ambassador, Sergey I. Kislyak, and one with the head of a Russian state-owned bank, Vnesheconombank, arranged at Mr. Kislyaks behest.
<SNIP>
This is not just bureaucratic paperwork. The form warns that withholding, misrepresenting, or falsifying information could result in loss of access to classified information, denial of eligibility for a sensitive job and even prosecution; knowingly falsifying or concealing material facts is a federal felony that may result in fines or up to five years imprisonment.
<SNIP>
Mr. Kushners aides said he was compiling that material and would share it when the F.B.I. interviewed him. For now, they said, he has an interim security clearance.

They are claiming that his applicant for clearance was "prematurely submitted" on Jan. 18 and that they notified authorities of that the next day. Nothing in this article from weeks ago indicate that the additional information had been provided. Nothing in the more recent articles indicate that either.
