Val Demins: Trump ‘Lied’ About Jared Kushner’s Clearance ‘Because He Lies About a Lot of Different Things’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BURNETT: "We talk about the reason these forms exist, and they’re as detailed as they are. It’s exactly what you say. Better safe than sorry. Give all the information to the intelligence community and they interview and find out what matters and what doesn’t matter. I want to be clear here. I know I laid some of this out, but intelligence officials were concerned about Kushner, him having access to America’s top secrets for a slew of reasons. The president of the united States ordered them, John Kelly details that he felt ordered to what does it say to you that the president of the United States would overrule the intelligence community?"
DEMINGS: "Well, I really believe that General Kelly memorialized this incident because he knew the president would probably not be truthful, number one, if the issue came up. And number two, if some security breach happened as a result of Jared or others having that security clearance, look, those pages, those documents are very detailed, as they should be. And the fact that Jared left off over 100 contacts that he had with people that you wouldn’t have contact with on a regular basis or every day, maybe one time, okay. He forgot. Over 100 times, I don’t think it’s reasonable to ask the American people or Congress or anyone to believe that oversight was not intentional."
