Republicans request documents on Kerry's security clearance process

Republicans on the House Oversight and Reform Committee are requesting documents from the White House regarding Special Climate Envoy John Kerry's security clearance after Iran's foreign minister reportedly said Kerry informed him of Israeli attacks on Iranian interests in Syria.

"We are conducting oversight of Special Envoy for Climate John Kerry's reported decision to provide potentially classified intelligence to Iran," they said in a Tuesday letter to White House counsel Dana Remus. The letter was signed by all but three of the Republicans on the panel.

In the letter, spearheaded by the panel's top Republican, Rep. James Comer (Ky.), the lawmakers raised concerns about "Kerry's fitness to serve in his current role with the National Security Council (NSC) and whether these allegations should affect Secretary Kerry's ability to maintain a security clearance."

They argued that the allegations against Kerry show a need to review his security clearances and asked for documents on "what, if any steps, the White House has taken to review the allegations and ensure our nation's security."

1. Just the headline along is outrageous and ridiculous...laughable actually

GOP republicans, they are nothing more that obstructionist who spend so much negative energy with diverting off topic verses actually doing a job for the people...24/7...

75% of tRumps Team couldn't pass the smell test let alone a National Security Clearance. ...Like Jarred...for example.

2. Speaking of Jared, I guess they forgot the President can over rule even those who approve clearances

not to mention, Kerry has had clearances for decades with no controversy. Their concerns are ludicrous because Kerry already denied it. In addition the information was public knowledge, especially if you read any Israeli newspaper. Haaretz seemed to have at least weekly articles on various attacks. Add to that, Kerry had no access to secrets in the Trump years. He may still have had a clearance, but he had no "need to know".
