Donald Trump has a meeting with the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergei Kislyak at the White House in 2017, as reported by the Associated Press. Given his numerous legal issues and hefty civil judgments, Donald Trump would likely not pass a security clearance check if he were just a regular citizen. However, if he is elected president in November, he would once again have access to highly classified information, regardless of his financial and legal troubles. George Conway, a conservative lawyer who is known for criticizing Donald Trump, suggested that if someone approves giving Trump a security clearance, their own clearance should be taken away. This highlights the irony of U.S. intelligence procedures, where individuals requiring access to sensitive information must undergo thorough background checks that can last for a year. If that individual becomes president, all the vetting processes are disregarded. The decision of the majority of voters outweighs any concerns raised by intelligence experts, and a president is granted legal access to all classified information held by the nation. This includes Trump, who is facing prosecution for retaining confidential documents taken to his Florida club upon leaving the presidency. Some of the accusations made against him include purported breaches of the Espionage Act. Ty Cobb, a lawyer who served in Trump’s administration, stated that if Trump becomes president, he will have unlimited access to anything he desires. There is no legal means to stop it. In fact, out of the nine factors assessed during a security clearance investigation by the U.S. government, including drug use, criminal behavior, financial issues, use of technology, loyalty to the country, influence from foreign entities, alcohol consumption, psychological issues, personal conduct, and handling of sensitive information, Trump would probably face difficulties with five of them. This situation was already experienced by the United States in 2016.
