Officials in at least four countries have privately discussed ways they can manipulate Jared Kushner, the presidents son-in-law and senior adviser, by taking advantage of his complex business arrangements, financial difficulties and lack of foreign policy experience, according to current and former U.S. officials familiar with intelligence reports on the matter.
Among those nations discussing ways to influence Kushner to their advantage were the United Arab Emirates, China, Israel and Mexico, the current and former officials said.
It is unclear if any of those countries acted on the discussions, but Kushners contacts with certain foreign government officials have raised concerns inside the White House and are a reason he has been unable to obtain a permanent security clearance, the officials said.

uphold the constitution requires them to reveal that outside influences are taking advantage of this weakling potus.
I've been hoping this would happen from the beginning. Let's hope others will come forward on the vile orangatan and his misdeeds.

To protect the country from the effects of people who can be easily blackmailed.
Of course trump doesn't believe that because the Russians told him so.
