White House staffers fired or reassigned over security clearances

Several White House staffers have been fired or reassigned following a security shake-up — including one working for First Lady Melania Trump, according to a report Wednesday.

The list of Trump administration employees affected includes several other individuals with security clearance issues that are “under consideration for possible termination or reassignment in the coming days,” according to ABC News.

A spokeswoman for the First Lady did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

While the list was not likely to be made public, it could include a large number of low level staffers who work in the White House, but not necessarily in the West Wing or within proximity of President Trump.

The reshuffling comes on the heels of changes to the security clearance process made by chief of staff John Kelly in the wake of domestic abuse allegations against former White House staff secretary Rob Porter.

Porter denied the accusations, but left his top tier White House position.

Trump’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner was caught up in the scandal as he, like Porter, had been operating under an interim security clearance.

His clearance has since been downgraded.
