In an interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber on Wednesday, Kushner. Inc author and investigative journalist Vicky Ward said Donald Trump’s son-in-law and top advisor Jared Kushner is “so dangerous” he wouldn’t clear a TSA PreCheck.
Referencing Kushner’s interview this week with Time 100, Ward during which the president’s aide downplayed the Russian government’s impact during the 2016 presidential election, Ward called the performance a “master class by Jared Kushner.”
“He is an incredibly plausible liar,” Ward said.
Jared Kushner has a “disdain for rules," she added.
After noting Kushner claimed during the Time 100 interview that he had no problems obtaining a security clearance, Ward remarked that, according to her reporting, “Jared Kushner couldn’t get a TSA PreCheck.”
The analysis comes as the White House on Tuesday escalated its legal battle with the House Oversight Committee, directing former head of personnel security Carl Kline to ignore a subpoena to appear before Congress. Democrats wanted to speak with Kline about how Kushner received his security clearance after a whistleblower earlier this month said the Trump administration overturned dozens of rejected security clearances.
