Jared Kushner was given a top secret security clearance over the objections of White House security specialists, two sources tell @NBCNews https://t.co/QpUGEkeV5P

Jared Kushner’s winding road to getting top secret clearance was helped along by a Trump-installed official who overruled two security specialists. https://t.co/6l3cbWx0l4

In May 2018, Kushner’s criminal defense lawyer said he’d received permanent clearance. What he didn’t say was that a Trump hire overruled two career adjudicators to grant the clearance & the CIA denied him a higher level clearance. https://t.co/QHL6mSYzue

“Having studied the President’s Daily Brief’s six-decade history, I have not come across another case of a White House official being a designated recipient of the P.D.B., for that length of time, without having a full security clearance.”https://t.co/VNNEJf0cCb

BOOM! If you've come to my events, I always say watch for Deutsche Bank and Cambridge Analytica. When no other lenders would give a cent to Trump, Deutsche Bank gave him hundreds of millions. They also lent Jared Kushner

Deutsche Bank reportedly concerned about what disclosure of suspicious transactions with Kushner will do to its reputation — surprising, since the bank's reputation currently ranks just slightly above genital warts.

Trump offers delusional interpretation of Senate vote: "I see a lot of Democrats, almost all of them breaking & saying 'walls are good! Walls are good!' Big difference from what you had 2 or 3 weeks ago…Our bill won 50-47."

Donald Trump’s day so far:

– Insists he “will not cave” to Pelosi after he already caved to her
– Trump is the worst negotiator of all time
– Michael Cohen subpoenaed
– Wilbur Ross lets them eat cake
– These people are idiots
– They’re all going to prison
– It’s still only 3pm

In Pelosi's office just now, Democrats agreed to unveil their border "vision" tomorrow morning at a presser. It'll be pretty close to $5.7 billion worth of ideas, per Rep. Bennie Thompson. Still seems like no wall.

Was the Queen talking about the Brexit debate? In a speech today she said people needed to find "common ground" and "never losing sight of the bigger picture". Royals have tried v hard to stay out of the Brexit debate but was she hinting at something here?
