Trump is kicked out of the White House
Jared Kushner, one of the youngest and most successful American businessmen and son-in-law of Donald Trump, was denied access to US state secrets. The 37-year-old husband of Ivanka Trump almost immediately after the election of his father-in-law as the president of the United States gained a tremendous influence on the American policies. We can also say that Kushnir was one of those people who directly ensured Trump's victory in the 2016 elections. Since January 20, 2017, Kushnir has been the senior adviser to the President of the United States, that is, by virtue of his professional duties, he can and should know a lot.
The denial of access to state secrets for a politician of this level is a serious blow. What are the reasons for this distrust of the presidential son-in-law?
As it turned out, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, after conducting a routine security check of senior government officials, established some interesting details about the life and work of Jared Kushnir. It turned out that Kushnir, demanding access to state secret, hid his meetings with a number of foreign representatives. Kushnir was also reminded of the suspicions of ties with Russia that were expressed by the Democrats during the election race.
The American media report that China, Israel, and Mexico can influence Kushnir. Of course, the presence of China on this list is a very serious argument for denying Kushnir access to American state secrets. But Mexico, with which relations have worsened after Trump’s plans to build a border wall, cannot be considered Washington’s reliable partner. However, of course, Kushnir can hardly be seriously considered an agent of foreign influence or a conductor of other people's interests. Rather, these contacts, as well as the restriction on access to state secrets, were used by the head of the White House apparatus, John Kelly, in the struggle against the influence of the "family" on President Trump.
In the United States there is now a very interesting situation, somewhat reminiscent of Russia in the second half of the 1990s. After Trump's victory in the presidential election, his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushnir gained a great influence on US policy. To many senior members of the American elite, this dominance of the "Trump clan" seems wrong. Therefore, they are trying in every possible way to fight against the access of presidential relatives to public administration. The fact that Trump won the presidential election does not mean that his daughter or son-in-law should immediately become the key figures in American politics.
Closing access to state secrets for Kushnir is not a very large-scale, but very sensitive yet another blow to the positions of the Trump clan. The American elite wants to reduce the independence of the president, and for this - to cut off the management of his most trusted and reliable associates Ivanka and Jared. The blow to “clanism” in American politics is not only practical, but also symbolic. The United States has always positioned itself as a “stronghold of world democracy,” so “nepotism” at the highest levels of the Washington hierarchy has a very poor effect on the image of the United States. Therefore, it can be assumed that in the end, both Jared Kushnir and Ivanka Trump will lose their serious positions, won after Donald Trump came to power. Of course, this will not prevent them from exerting an informal influence on the decisions made by the president, but at least the absence of the president’s relatives in the official hierarchy will help preserve the “face” of the American political system.
