Former White House ethics chief Walter Shaub on Thursday said there was “quite the parallel” between President Trump’s children getting high-level security clearances and the dozens of parents caught in a national college admissions cheating scandal.

Shaub said Trump’s alleged role in getting his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner security clearances was on par with the allegations that wealthy parents, as well as school coaches and administrators, engaged in a bribery scam to ensure college admissions for their children.

“Quite the parallel between members of the decadent golf set cheating to get their kids into college and a decadent golf setter cheating to get his daughter and son-in-law clearances after committing nepotism to get them civil service jobs – except for the national security risks,” Shaub tweeted.
