Click here         Jared Kushner Has Security Clearance Downgraded: Reports​ Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and White House adviser, has had his security clearance downgraded, Politico reports.   He has been downgraded from SCI (sensitive compartmentalized information) access to Secret level, according to the publication.  All other White House aides working on high-level interim clearances also had their access downgraded, according to a memo reportedly sent to staffers on Friday. Earlier that same day, Trump said he would leave it up to his chief of staff, John Kelly, to decide what access Kushner should have. Kushner no longer receives the President’s Daily Brief, Reuters reports. His access to the highly classified intelligence briefing has been cut off in the past few weeks, sources told the news service. Kushner is reportedly accepting the decision and “will not ask for special permission” from the president, according to CNN. READ MORE     WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING? West Virginia Gov.

And if they do get a sizable sum, the public won’t necessarily find out.    .
