Kushner updated disclosure to add more than 100 foreign contacts: report
White House adviser Jared Kushner reportedly updated his federal disclosure form several times to include more than 100 names on a list of foreign contacts.
Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, updated the list of foreign contacts on his disclosure form — which he needed to submit to get security clearance — three times, The New York Times reported.
He added more than 100 names to it, people close to Kushner told The Times.
{mosads}Some have raised questions recently about Kushner’s security clearance after new details emerged about a meeting he attended last year with Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer.
Trump Jr. earlier this week released emails detailing his conversations setting up the meeting with a Russian lawyer he was told had compromising information on Hillary Clinton.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Wednesday said in a “normal political world,” Kushner would no longer have his job.
“If this were a normal political world, Jared Kushner wouldn’t have a job by the end of today,” he said during a Wednesday interview, “and at the very least, he should absolutely have his security clearance revoked.”
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Wednesday called for Kushner and Paul Manafort, Trump’s then-campaign chairman who also attended the meeting, to testify before Congress regarding the meeting with a Russian lawyer.
