Ivanka Trump dances with husband Jared Kushner at the inaugural ball with First Lady Melania Trump
Kushner, who left his role at the family company upon taking a job in the White House, met with Joshua Harris, one of the founders of Apollo Global Management, several times at the White House early a year ago as Harris was advising the administration on infrastructure, according to the New York Times.
Lowell, Kushner's attorney, said he had not been informed of any reason for the holdup in Kushner's permanent top-secret clearance.
The New York Times reported Wednesday night that Harris had met multiple times at the White House with Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and senior advisor.
The past 24 hours have rocked the foundation of the inner circle of confidants and senior White House staff that U.S. President Donald Trump has surrounded himself with.
An initial security clearance is a status granted to individuals allowing them access to classified information (state or organizational secrets) or to restricted areas, after completion of a thorough background check.
Meetings that Kushner had that month with a Chinese insurance company and a Russian banker - as well as the company's efforts to get funding from a Qatari source - are coming under new scrutiny after The Washington Post revealed that foreign government officials viewed him as a figure who might be manipulated due to the family company's financial needs and his lack of experience.

USA ambassador to Mexico to step down in May
It said three days later, it received an official request to approve the appointment of a new ambassador, which it granted Monday. Associated Press writer Peter Orsi reported this story in Mexico City and AP writer Luis Alonso Lugo reported from Washington.
The news of Kushner's new clearance level comes after CNN reported that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation has moved beyond Kushner's contacts with Russian Federation to now include evidence that Kushner attempted to secure financing for his company from foreign investors during the presidential transition.
Kushner's legal problems and the reports of the Kushner family's real estate company causing his security clearance downgrade, both Trump and his staff have been frustrated.
Kushner met in December 2016, while he was working with the Trump transition team, with officials of Anbang, a Chinese insurance company.
For Colbert, this limitation of Kushner's access was another point of humor. Kushner Companies spokeswoman Christine Taylor also denied that Kushner played a role in obtaining the loans.
Kushner Companies also received a $325 million loan from Citigroup in March 2017 - just after Kushner met with the corporation's chief executive, Michael L. Corbat, to discuss financial and trade policy, according to the Times.
News of the loan has nonetheless raised ethics concerns. After a 2011 refinancing, Kushner and his company devised a redevelopment plan that would double the building's size, and they began trying to empty the tower, which further hurt revenue. We also see the consequences of Republicans' refusal to take their oversight responsibilities seriously with regard to massive conflicts of interest for the entire Trump clan.
