Former White House personnel security director Carl Kline took responsibility for a security clearance process criticized for overruling multiple recommended denials for senior govt. officials, according to members of Congress who privately interviewed him
"He's basically trying to say that the buck pretty much stopped with him," said House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, a Maryland Democrat."There's much more information that we need to dig into."Tricia Newbold, whom Democrats describe as a whistleblower, has accused Kline of approving security clearances for White House officials despite recommended denials, including for the President's son-in-law and senior White House adviser Jared Kushner.
Stephen Lynch, a Democrat of Massachusetts, gave credit to Kline for being"open" about the security clearance process, including how many instances of derogatory information that Kline received from applicants. But Lynch said that Kline's attorneys objected to direct questions regarding specific individuals, including Kushner."We're going to fight over these because they've objected to some of the questions," Lynch said.
