Meghan McCain says Ivanka Trump's 'lie' about Jared Kushner's security clearance is 'the first crack in her veneer'
Ivanka Trump's claim that President Trump 'had no involvement' in getting Jared Kushner's security clearance was contradicted by a report in New York Times on Thursday
Meghan McCain has criticized Ivanka Trump for "lying on air" after Ivanka claimed that Trump had "no involvement" in getting Jared Kushner his security clearance.
In an interview with Abby Huntsman on ABC News in February, Ivanka said that President Trump "had no involvement pertaining to my clearance or my husband’s clearance, zero". However, Ivanka's statements were contradicted in a New York Times article published last week that cited official White House sources who claimed that President Donald Trump "ordered his chief of staff to grant his son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner a top-secret security clearance last year, overruling concerns flagged by intelligence officials".
