WASHINGTON ― House Republicans voted Thursday to block an effort aimed at revoking the security clearance of White House senior adviser Jared Kushner.
Republicans have lashed out at the security clearances investigation, calling it a "partisan attack on the White House".
USIS conducts about 65percentt of the background checks done by private contractors, and more than half of all the investigations conducted by the OPM, according to a statement issued last week by the office of Senator Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat who is a co-sponsor of legislation aimed at boosting oversight of the security clearance process.
Caroline Tetschner, a spokeswoman at Navy Reserves Headquarters, said that the security clearance he needed to serve at Guantánamo was granted because he had already received clearance by the Army.
The security clearance lines at Orlando International Airport were as frustrating as the traffic jams on the Beeline Expressway, between Orlando and the coast.

"The security clearance matters".
Ms. Newbold's decision to accuse her own office of rampant mismanagement of the security clearances of at least 25 employees came after months of what she characterized as personal discrimination and professional retaliation from Carl Kline, the office's former director, after she spent roughly a year trying to raise issues internally.
The White House is currently reviewing the security clearances of at least nine others who have been critical the president, and it has reportedly started drafting cancellations.
