‘Kushner granted permanent security clearance by FBI'

President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner has been finally granted permanent security clearance, renewing his access to some of America's most sensitive secrets, media reports said on Thursday.

Married to Trump's daughter Ivanka, 37-yearold Kushner is a special advisor to the President and his special envoy on the Middle East Peace Process.

The permanent security clearance for Kushner had been pending since last year.

"Having completed all of these processes, he's looking forward to continuing to do the work the president has asked him to do," Kushner's attorney Abbe D Lowell said.

Kushner's application was "properly" submitted, reviewed by numerous career officials and underwent the normal process, he said.

According to The New York Times, Kushner was issued permanent security clearance by career staffers of the FBI, after the investigative agency completed its background check against the president's son-in-law.

Kushner was among several White House officials who spent the first year of the administration working on provisional clearances, meaning he was allowed to view classified information while his FBI background check was pending, the daily said. Those clearances were stripped in February under a new White House policy, it said.
