I think this is Abbe Lowell saying Kushner lied to him

@KenDilanianNBC

New statement from a spokesman for Abbe Lowell:

“Mr. Lowell was not aware of nor told of any request for or action by the President to be involved in the security clearance process. Again, officials affirmed at the time that the regular process occurred without any pressure.”

My father was very estranged from the family and I only remember seeing him a few times decades ago at my aunts, (note to grammar police: as in two different aunts), funerals. No the funerals were not concurrent.
