18 year vet of WH security clearance process: denials overturned despite concerns about blackmail, foreign influence, or other red flags,
Here is the House Oversight memo oversight.house.gov/sites/democrat…
Who is “Senior White House Official 1”? and “second very senior White House official” (“Senior White House Official 2”)?
first 2 adjudicators recommended denial to Snr WH official 2 over “multiple disqualifiers, including foreign influence & outside activities”
“Senior WH official 3” was a “high-profile official” at the NSC. clearance was denied, no longer at the White House
under Jan2018 policy, “if a favorable adjudication had ever been rendered on the individual” w/in last 6yrs, then “no further checks” needed
Newbold told Kline instance in which FBI name check revealed a reciprocal candidate w/TS-SCI clearance under investigation for crim.activity
Newbold told Committee staff that Mr. Kline responded, “that was one in I don’t know how many” & that “he was willing to accept the risk.”
2 high-level WH officials denied clearances based on concerns re: personal conduct, foreign influence, & for 1, foreign preference concerns
Senior WH Official 3 & another senior WH official were ultimately denied permanent security clearances after working w/interim clearances
Kline retaliation against Newbold included actions “designed to humiliate her as result of her rare form of dwarfism”
Contrast
Newbold repeatedly made clear her concerns r based on national security-not personal animus. complimented svl offls,inc John Kelly&Joe Hagin
