MSNBC’s Ruhle on Kushner Security Clearance Downgrade: ‘Humiliating’ and ‘Embarrassing’

‘The president could decide to share whatever information he wants to with Jared Kushner’

EXCERPT:

RUHLE: "I mean, this portfolio, he’s got China, peace in the Middle East, Office of Innovation, and he’s been very clear that criminal justice reform is something he’s passionate about. But the thing it is the most for Jared Kushner is humiliating. The president didn’t have to sign off on this. We know that John Kelly has had somewhat of a contentious relationship with Jared and Ivanka. I know from people inside the White House who have felt like Jared and Ivanka have overstepped and John Kelly didn't like it. John Kelly is clearly taking a shot across the bow, and the president let him do it. The president could decide to share whatever information he wants to with Jared Kushner, but within the White House and outside, this is clearly embarrassing."
