Personnel Security Office", as in "Maybe THEY received paperwork and a final report from the FBI in July, BUT THE WHITE HOUSE DID NOT!". She also said that the FBI may have delivered THEIR final report in July, as Wray just testified, but the WHPSO investigation was "ongoing".
So, here's my problem: when I Googled "White House Personnel Security Office",. I got -----no hits----nothing.
Did this "office" even exist prior to yesterday?

(2,315 posts)Do they have an office in the White House?
Perhaps they are hidden in some basement of the Executive Office Building.
Or maybe they are not on her, Kelly's, or tRump's normal route to their own offices.
Or, yes, they didn't even exist prior to yesterday.
Huckabeast is crazy.

(23,314 posts)I am guessing we got crickets from the MSM on the existence of the mysterious WH Personnel Security Office. I'm at work so couldn't listen to the briefing...

(102,267 posts)I assume they work with the White House too.
Here's a blurb and more info:
The OPM is also responsible for a large part of the management of security clearances (National Background Investigations Bureau a/k/a NBIB conducts these investigations) for the United States Government. With the exception of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which maintains its own system, separate programs for each executive department have gradually been merged into a single, Government-wide clearance system. The OPM is responsible for investigating individuals to give them Secret and Top Secret clearances.[8] SCI compartments, however, are still managed by the particular agency that uses that compartment.
OPM is also responsible for federal employee retirement applications for FERS and CSRS employees.[9] OPM makes decisions on federal employee regular[10] and disability retirement cases.[11]

(102,267 posts)There is a personnel office for the WH--whether it is separate from OPM, I'm not sure. I know that the WH counsel's office may also have been the WH "unit" that received the FBI report--my guess.
