Politics Kushner updated disclosure to add more than 100 foreign contacts

[SlyPokerDog]

White House adviser Jared Kushner reportedly updated his federal disclosure form several times to include more than 100 names on a list of foreign contacts.

Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law, updated the list of foreign contacts on his disclosure form — which he needed to submit to get security clearance — three times, The New York Times reported.

He added more than 100 names to it, people close to Kushner told The Times.



Some have raised questions recently about Kushner's security clearance after new details emerged about a meeting he attended last year with Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer.
Trump Jr. earlier this week released emails detailing his conversations setting up the meeting with a Russian lawyer he was told had compromising information on Hillary Clinton.

Sen. Chris Murphy (R-Conn.) on Wednesday said in a "normal political world," Kushner would no longer have his job.

"If this were a normal political world, Jared Kushner wouldn't have a job by the end of today," he said during a Wednesday interview, "and at the very least, he should absolutely have his security clearance revoked.

Obama never should have been given a security clearance because he wasn't born in this country.

Hillary never should have been given a security clearance because she is lizard person.

Lemme guess the first few names...

Vladdy Putinsky
Vladistov Putinovich
Vlader Putinopolous

I do think there is an important thing missing from the story you linked. The answer to the question why?

Like, why he needed to update it three times or why Chris Murphy says he should have his security clearance revoked.

You know, basic journalism stuff.

why update it three times? Because he didn't get it right on the first three tries.

what Murphy's issue was? I think it is pretty clear:

"In a normal world, we wouldn't be talking about security clearances, Jared Kushner would have been fired about four hours ago," Murphy said on MSNBC.

Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law, allowed Trump, Vice President Pence and other aides to go out and "repeat a lie," Murphy said, "that no one in the Trump operation met with the Russian government or operatives of the Russian government," Murphy said.

"He watched those individuals go out and engage in that parade of lies. Now, maybe they knew they were lies, but giving them the benefit of the doubt, Jared Kushner at least knew that they were lies," he continued.
"And so, if this were a normal political world, Jared Kushner wouldn't have a job by the end of today and at the very least, he should absolutely have his security clearance revoked."

In other news, some Trump associates were spotted on a highway in Oregon today.

That wasn't in the story. I had to go back and click on a couple of easily missed blue words that took me to that.
