President Donald Trump pressured his then-chief of staff John Kelly and White House counsel Don McGahn to grant his daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump a security clearance against their recommendations, three people familiar with the matter told CNN.

The President's crusade to grant clearances to his daughter and her husband, Jared Kushner, rankled West Wing officials.

Is Jared Kushner facing prison time?

The statement might mean that Kushner, who is Trump’s son-in-law as well as a senior White House adviser, held information or even lied to his own attorney, Leo Vidal reported on PoliticusUSA.

It became public knowledge this week that US President Donald Trump ordered that his son-in-law Jared Kushner be given the highest level of national security clearance.

However, criminal defense attorney Abbe Lowell said that he “was not aware of nor told of any request for or action by [US] President [Donald Trump] to be involved in the security clearance process [for Jared Kushner],” according to NBC reporter Ken Dilanian on Saturday.
New statement from a spokesman for Abbe Lowell:

“Mr. Lowell was not aware of nor told of any request for or action by the President to be involved in the security clearance process. Again, officials affirmed at the time that the regular process occurred without any pressure.”

President's son-in-law Kushner accused of trying to blackmail MSNBC's Joe Scarborough
The president’s son-in-law advised the ‘Morning Joe’ host to speak to the president directly about an upcoming tabloid ‘hit piece.’
06.30.17
On Friday, MSNBC hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough made the explosive claim that three of President Donald Trump’s most senior White House aides “warned” the couple that the tabloid The National Enquirer would publish dirt on them unless they “begged” the president to intervene.
The story in question (http://www.nationalenquirer.com/photos/joe-scarborough-mika-brzezinski-affair/), published by the Enquirer early this month and headlined “Joe & Mika: TV Couple’s Sleazy Cheating Scandal,” claimed that the Morning Joe co-hosts had “started hooking up while married to other people” and “used ironclad divorce deals to keep their dirty secret!”
