Two long-term White House security specialists rejected Jared Kushner's application for a security clearance.  trump's appointed head of personnel, Carl Kline, overrode their findings and approved Kushner's application.  The Democratic controlled House Oversight Committee is launching an investigation into how this White House has handled security clearances for trump's friends and family against security expert's recommendations.  Kushner wasn't the only one who raised red flags among security officials, he was one of 30 cases in which Kline overruled career security experts.  Kushner has been prevented from getting an SCI clearance, which is clearance for "sensitive compartmented information," because the CIA is responsible for those clearances.  I thought this country had laws that the White House had to follow, apparently not, trump has his own set and can do whatever he wants to, with the blessing of the republican party.  Laws only apply to Democrats.
