There is no way on God’s green earth that anyone else with an ongoing BRIBERY investigation looming over their head would be approved for access to the janitor’s closet at DHS, let alone a security clearance.
Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing:
Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

President-elect Trump initially balked at submitting names of likely nominees to the FBI for background checks, a basic step intended to flag possible financial conflicts or ethical problems.
