Jared Kushner Was Just Asked by Reporters About Being ‘Compromised by Foreign Countries’ – Here’s How He Responded
Kushner Just Lost His Security Clearance
Jared Kushner is the subject of several reports Tuesday, including one from The Washington Post that details how “at least four countries have privately discussed ways they can manipulate” him “by taking advantage of his complex business arrangements, financial difficulties and lack of foreign policy experience.”
The Post goes on to note that “Kushner’s contacts with certain foreign government officials have raised concerns inside the White House and are a reason he has been unable to obtain a permanent security clearance, the officials said.”
Minutes ago, ABC News reporter and producer Ben Siegel posted this video of Kushner leaving Capitol Hill, with a reporter appearing to ask him about the Washington Post story about being “compromised by foreign countries.”
Not all the audio is clear, but what is crystal clear was Kushner’s response:
