Clapper: I Don’t Know How Kushner Can Do His Job Without Security Clearance

EXCERPT:

CUOMO: "Jared Kushner does not have security clearance yet. He has changed his disclosures when it comes to — well, let’s just say he has changed his disclosures. It goes to a range of issues, almost 40 times. How unusual, and can you think of another situation where somebody would still be in the position he’s in if he didn’t have a security clearance for this long?"
CLAPPER: "Well, I can’t think of a situation like that. If it were normal people, they wouldn’t have access to classified information."
CUOMO: "How can he do his job without it? I mean, he’s in charge with such significant and delicate matters like Middle East peace."
CLAPPER: "Right."
CUOMO: "How can he do that without security clearance?"
CLAPPER: "He has a Superman portfolio there with all the way from Mid East peace to China, to reorganizing the government. I don’t think realistically he could perform and given the sensitivities of those portfolios, I don’t know how he could do the job without full access to all the information that's potentially available to him."
