http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/320008-wh-dismisses-six-staffers-for-not-passing-background-checks-reportSix White House staffers were removed from the administration on Thursday for failing an FBI background check, according to Politico.
Sources told the publication that the staffers were escorted from the building on Wednesday after they didnt pass Form SF86, the "Questionnaire for National Security Positions." A successful response to the form is required for a security clearance.
One of the dismissed staffers includes Caroline Wiles, director of scheduling, the daughter of President Trumps Florida campaign manager. She will instead get a job at the Treasury Department, sources told Politico.
The Hill asked the White House for comment.

(31,997 posts)Do you seriously think all 3 million federal workers could pass a white house background check? Different jobs and different agencies have different requirements. This happens with all administrations.

(31,997 posts)What is different is how different agencies deal with the answers. One size does not fit all.

this Trumpster. Whatever the case it was a fairly rapid transition.
