Democrats on the House Oversight and Reform Committee plan to hold a vote next week on subpoenaing the former White House personnel security director in their investigation into the White House’s security clearance process.
Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) has called for a committee meeting on Tuesday to vote on a resolution authorizing a subpoena for Carl Kline to testify “in connection with the Committee’s investigation into the security clearance process at the White House.”

The Oversight panel began investigating the security clearance process in January, once Democrats took control of the panel. They opened a probe following reports that President Trump ordered a top-secret clearance for his son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner.
CNN reported in January that Kline had left the White House and returned to the Pentagon. NBC News reported around the time that Kline had overruled multiple security officials when it came to approving security clearances for Kushner and more than two dozen others.
