  • Democrats and other critics are now demanding that the White House disclose the list and details of the people Trump allowed to skip background checks and gain access to the country's most sensitive secrets.

The article from MSN discusses concerns raised by Democrats regarding former President Donald Trump's practice of granting security clearances to individuals without the necessary background checks.

This situation has sparked a debate on the integrity of the security clearance process and the implications for national security, with critics arguing that such actions could compromise classified information.
