    They are pointing to the revelation of a meeting with Russian contacts during President Donald Trump’s campaign.

    Kushner is a senior adviser to Trump and his son-in-law. Along with other Trump officials, he attended a June 2016 meeting with a Russian lobbyist who indicated she had damaging information about Democrat Hillary Clinton.

    Kushner disclosed the meeting on his security clearance paperwork, but Democrats have questioned how much he disclosed.

    Democratic Sens. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Al Franken of Minnesota and Mazie Hirono of Hawaii say in a letter to the White House that given the meeting, Kushner’s top access “may pose a danger to this country.”

    Kushner has perjured him self.

    Jared Kushner failed to disclose his recent meetings with the Russian Ambassador and a Russian bank executive when he filled out his White House security clearance form.

    Then this Junior fiasco.

    The penalty:

    “The U.S. Criminal Code (title 18, section 1001) provides that knowingly falsifying or concealing a material fact is a felony which may result in fines and/or up to five (5) years imprisonment. In addition, Federal agencies generally fire, do not grant a security clearance, or disqualify individuals who have materially and deliberately falsified these forms, and this remains a part of the permanent record for future placements.”
