“All White House aides working on the highest-level interim clearances — at the Top Secret/SCI-level — were informed in a memo sent Friday that their clearances would be downgraded to the Secret level.” And that includes some pretty notable aides. Jared Kushner has lost his access to top-secret intelligence. (The big question, of course, is why he can’t get security clearance when his portfolio basically includes everything other than deciding who gets security clearances.)

+ Kushner’s downgrade came as WaPo reported on his overseas contacts that raised major concerns. “Officials in at least four countries have privately discussed ways they can manipulate Jared Kushner … by taking advantage of his complex business arrangements, financial difficulties and lack of foreign policy experience.”

+ In other administration news, Mueller is asking if Trump knew about the hacked Democratic emails before their release. And the president described his attorney general as disgraceful.
