JARED KUSHNER/ROBERT MUELLER/TRUMP PEOPLE: “President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, had his White House security clearance restored Wednesday [5-23-18], a person familiar with the matter said, after months of uncertainty stemming in part from his role in the ongoing investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller. Kushner was stripped of his interim clearance in February amid an overhaul of procedures governing access to the nation’s most sensitive secrets following the resignation of Rob Porter, the President’s staff secretary, who had been allowed to remain in his post for months despite allegations of spouse abuse. The Mueller probe has also hung over Kushner’s status in the White House, in part because some of the matters under investigation relate to his role during the campaign and the transition, including contacts with Russians, as well as events that occurred in the early months of the Trump presidency, such as the firing of former FBI Director James Comey. In April, Kushner met with Mueller’s investigators for a second time and answered questions for seven hours, according to his attorney, Abbe Lowell.”
