Trump Conspicuously Refuses to Answer Question About Jared and Ivanka Security Clearances
President Donald Trump conspicuously refused to answer a reporter’s question about ordering security clearances for Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, even as he took several other questions before and after that query during an Oval Office photo op.
After delivering brief remarks with Prime Minister of Ireland Leo Varadkar, Trump answered many questions from the assembled press, with the exception of a tough one from NBC News White House Correspondent Kristen Welker.
“Mr. President, did you intervene in Jared Kushner’s security clearance, and in Ivanka Trump’s security clearance?” Welker asked, as the other reporters fell silent.
Trump listened to the question, then said “Thank you very much.”

If you can't say anything good, don't say anything.
He's guilty.

"I barely know that couple, only attended their wedding a few years ago. No collusion!"

"I only gave them a clearance because Saudi Arabia asked me to. It was out of my hands."

He has the intense need to be on camera at least once a day. Under the guise of being accessible to the media as he makes America great again. But he just craves the attention.
With other Presidents you hardly ever saw them.

The press has all kinds of solidarity over stupid shit, yet they collectively allow the Trump crime family to get away with this shit. When he won't answer a question, they all should get up and walk out.
