A former head ethics counsel for the Treasury Department said it's "long overdue" for an investigation into Jared Kushner, former senior advisor to President Donald Trump known for his significant influence in the Trump administration and his work in the Middle East.

Fucking finally. Also, lmao, the article points out that Kushner failed to pass scrutiny a security clearance. Iirc, that was because they said he was a clear security risk, and the only reason he ended up with a clearance was his father in law gave him one.
He in fact failed numerous times because they kept giving him 'do-overs' to revise his forms, which he would do, and then fail again. I wonder how many do-overs the rest of us would get after blatantly lying on security clearance applications.
Do you have a source that shows that he failed multiple times?

Zero. The answer is zero. When you fill out the form for your security clearance application you are told to retain a copy and use it when completing your renewals because even minor differences between applications will raise questions. Dot correct previous mistakes, let them ride since they passed scrutiny before.
Being caught in an outright lie would be immediately disqualifying for anyone except, apparently, Kushner.
Feels like Trump's ties to the Saudis and Emeratis don't get enough attention. The Russia stuff is definitely important as well but in these cases you have business dealing with actual state officials.
Edit: actually the other thing was with Oman not the UAE.
