Rep. Gerald Connolly, a Virginia Democrat, is alarmed by the Trump administration's practice of granting temporary Top Secret security clearances without thorough vetting. In a letter addressed to White House counsel David Warrington, he argues this process undermines national security and the Executive Office's capacity to protect Americans. Trump had previously justified the practice by claiming the security clearance system was 'broken.' Connolly is now seeking comprehensive documentation regarding the clearances, including details on employees with potential conflicts or concerning backgrounds, underscoring the gravity of these security risks.
