Security Clearance Flap Comes Amid Mounting White House Scandals
----------------------------------------------------------------

campaign chair Paul Manafort, who faces 18 charges related to special
counsel Robert Mueller's investigation-including tax fraud, bank fraud
and money laundering. And it comes after former White House aide Omarosa
Manigault Newman said that Trump was recorded repeatedly using the
"N-word"-and shared a recording of a White House official discussing
potential fallout from Trump's use of the racist slur.
