Kushner holds one of these interim clearances because of mistakes he made on his forms and the complexity of his financial holdings, the Times reported last week. The women told the FBI interviewers that Porter had physically and emotionally abused them, but he was able to continue working in the White House with a temporary security clearance. The White House, addressing questions about Kushner’s future clearance, said Tuesday his work would be unaffected by the overhaul. “Everyone in the White House is grateful for these valuable contributions to furthering the president’s agenda. There is no truth to any suggestion otherwise.”Kelly’s new plan will revoke any top security clearance to aides whose background checks have been stalled since June 1 or before.
