Apparently, Pres. Elect Trump thinks his children can. Just saw a couple of tweets which seem to indicate that he is seeking "Top Secret" security clearances for his children (I assume Don Jr, Eric & Ivanka).
Why he would do this truly escapes me, unless he plans to bring one or more of them onto the WH staff. I can't for the life of me figure what "need to know" any of them might have, otherwise. I thought he was going to leave them in charge of the Trump organization... No "need to know" there, I would think... ![]() |

Maybe he just wants to be able to talk about work with them.

That's a pretty weak "Need to know..." And I'd think most of that level of stuff would need to be discussed in a SCIF and not over a unsecure phone, etc.

Perhaps they want to keep in touch with Hillary via email

I always assumed the presidential family got a security clearance. By virtue of them living in the WH and being in close proximity to the president, they cannot help but overhear or inadvertently see something.
Hell, the civilians that worked on the base child care center needed a SECRET clearance due to units deploying and possible duration.

Update: Kelly Ann Conway was on Fox & Friends this morning saying that she was not aware of any formal request. She speculated that it may have just been an "inquiry" that was leaked by opponents of Trump as a "formal request" in order to embarrass him and make him look "incompetent." I fear this is what we'll be in for over the next 4+ years. |
