Donald Trump ordered his security officials to give Jared and Ivanka top secret security clearances, despite both of them failing the requisite security investigations. Both Donald and Ivanka have previously denied that Trump had anything to do with these clearances.

Trump routinely disregards what his security officials tell them. Like Kim's denial in the death of Otto Warbier. Trump believes MBS, Putin and Kim over his own security people. What could possible go wrong.
So security officials, as part of the executive branch of the United States, can override the elected President?
Who works for who?
There are no records of a President making such an absurd demand.
Just another example of his putting family over country.
There is no record of a civil service so hostile to a previous president either. You can't say "it hasn't happened before" when you have the current new situation because of the "resistance"
That's because there's never been a President who attacked the CIA, the FBI, and the National Security Agency from the first day he took office like President Trump. He attacked Jim Comey for NOT prosecuting Hillary Clinton, and said that if he were elected President he would appoint a special counsel and have her investigated. He would LOCK HER UP.
Trump claimed that Clinton and Obama were involved in a rigging the election against him before he was elected, and gave every indication of trying to claim the results were a fraud in the event when he lost. Trump was never expected to win, not even by Putin. The idea was he would lose, then claim it was the Deep State who rigged the election against him. Putin would have totally discredited and disrupted the election process, and Trump would get to build Trump Tower Moscow. But it all went wrong when Trump was elected.
Hillary Clinton has spent all of her adult life being investigated. She would have to be a total idiot to do ANYTHING illegal because Judicial Watch, or one of the 17 investigations would have found it, or stumbled upon SOMETHING is there was anything to find. Nobody has struck a plea deal to "turn on" the Clintons in exchange for immunity. There are people who have been given immunity but it turned out they had nothing to give, and when they gave nothing, they still weren't charged with any crimes. Susan MacDougall spent a year in jail and has publically said she would have flipped to get out if she had anything at all to give them, but she didn't.
Trump is a multi-millionair con-artist who has bought or bullied his way out of dozens of legal, semi-legal and out illegal scams and charges. This was to be his ultimate con but it all went horribly wrong because he got elected President. And by the time he was elected President, the entire security apparatus of the nation, the FBI, the CIA, and the NSA, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff were all onto the fact that a Russian agent in the thrall of Vladimir Putin has been elected President.
What is about to happen, is that the rest of the country is about to find out what the collective heads of the American Security Agencies have known since before Trump was elected President. The Democratic House is now mitigating the damage being done by this President, and I think you'll find the tax cuts are pretty quickly going to be reversed.
