Updated | Jared Kushner is a security risk embedded in the West Wing since he still hasn't passed a comprehensive background investigation required of anyone seeking a permanent security clearance—and no one will question the president's decision to put his son-in-law in a crucial government role, experts and officials told Newsweek.

President Donald Trump's senior adviser has been working under an interim security clearance nearly a year into the administration, as investigators continue to assess his trustworthiness and analyze his web of active foreign investments, according to two sources with knowledge of the status on Kushner's clearance.

Kushner's permanent security clearance was stalled because he initially omitted 100 foreign contacts before revising his forms three times. Kushner's complicated business interests are also being considered after he repeatedly revised financial disclosure forms. But experts said the sheer volume of his ongoing ties to foreign investors is enough to deny anyone access to classified information.

"The real question is, Why hasn't his clearance been denied?" said Alan Edmunds, a senior attorney specializing in security clearance law at the Edmunds Law Firm. "Of course, the real reason it hasn’t been denied yet is because nobody has the moxie to tell the president his son-in-law can't be working in the White House, even though he shouldn't be."

5. When I had a clearance upgraded to a higher level...

(going from Secret to Top Secret) i was not even allowed to enter the office to start work until the clearance was completed...and that office never even really dealt with anything at that level.

We had a whole pool of people in 'awaiting clearance' status that were mostly sitting around twiddling their thumbs and performing menial tasks. Every so often one would get called to some office someplace and either start work or disappear from the base. If any one of us had omitted any foreign contacts we would have never received any type of clearance, and would probably have been charged under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for it.

I'm amazed that they let him have any access to anything prior to the successful completion of the process.

And what the hell is an 'interim security clearance', anyway? Either you are cleared or you aren't. It's an either/or state, sort of like pregnancy - you either are, or you aren't. There is no interim stage!
