He’s not the only one.
He has been downgraded from SCI (sensitive compartmented 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.
“General Kelly respects Jared a lot and General Kelly will make that call,” Trump said at a joint news conference with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull at the time.
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.
DOWNGRADED!
Kushner loses access to top-secret intelligence
It's about time. What took so long? Why does he still have a "secret" security clearance. I'm sure Mueller knows a lot of heavy stuff about all of this.
