According to Maggie Haberman of the New York Times, an internal letter from people close to Donald Trump outlines a plan for the former president to “bypass traditional background checks” and grant nominees “immediate access to classified secrets after taking office.”

According to a piece published on Sunday by Haberman, Jonathan Swan, and Charlie Savage, the memo allegedly “says that if elected he should use private firms to check appointees’ backgrounds and give them immediate access to classified secrets after taking office.”

According to three people briefed on the subject, a memo circulated among at least six of former President Donald J. Trump’s advisers suggests that, should he win, he should forego the customary background checks conducted by law enforcement and grant security clearances to many of his appointees as soon as they are sworn in, the report claims. “The proposal is being promoted by a small group including Boris Epshteyn, a top legal adviser to Mr. Trump who was influential in its development, according to the three people.”

The study notes that it’s unclear if Trump plans to implement the proposal, but it highlights that, if he does,”it would enable him to quickly place loyalists in important positions with no subjecting them to the possibility of long-running and expensive F.B.I. background checks, potentially increasing the risks of people with troublesome histories or ties to other nations being given powerful White House roles.”

According to the newspaper, such checks delayed clearances for many officials throughout Mr. Trump’s administration, including Mr. Epshteyn and Mr. Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.

According to the source, the proposal calls for the Trump White House to conduct background investigations using private-sector investigators rather than the FBI. It also cites a number of campaign-related inside sources.

“Once Mr. Trump took the oath, he would then summarily approve a large group for access to classified secrets, they said,” the article stated.

In response to the recent news, national security lawyer Bradley Moss stated, “Yep, this was inevitable.”
