Trump says Kushner security clearance up to chief of staff Kelly
President Donald Trump  indicated Friday  he  would not intervene if chief of staff John Kelly were to revoke the temporary top secret security clearance for his senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner  whose background check is still open after more than a year.
After  Trump  was asked whether  he  would grant a waiver to Kushner   he  said the decision would be Kelly's.
"I will let general Kelly make that decision  "  Trump  said again. "And  he 's going to do what's right for the country. And I have no doubt  he  will make the right decision."
