April 5:
The White House charges that it was Susan Rice who may have abused her power as
President Barack Obama's national security adviser and effectively snooped on
Trump's presidential transition. It was Rice who may have leaked classified
details from that surveillance to the press, it alleges. And in doing so, Trump
mused on Wednesday, she might have committed a crime.

April 30: Former national
security adviser Susan Rice fired back at President Trump's claim that the Obama
administration should have properly vetted Trump's former national security
adviser Michael Flynn. ... The Trump administration, like ... every
previous administration, had an expectation and an obligation to vet, to their
satisfaction, those individuals that the President was appointing to high
positions ...

May 2: Sen.
Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is reportedly calling on former national
security adviser Susan Rice to testify before a Senate subcommittee next week
regarding whether the Obama administration tried to "politicize intel" during
the 2016 presidential election.

May 4: President
Donald Trump criticized former national security adviser Susan Rice on Thursday
morning, writing on Twitter that it was “not good” that Rice refused an
invitation from Sen. Lindsey Graham to testify before a Senate subcommittee.
Rice, who served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and then as national
security adviser for former President Barack Obama, officially turned down
Graham’s invitation to testify regarding Russia’s interference in last year’s
election before the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee Crime and
Terrorism.
Rice, already a controversial figure for her incorrect explanation of the
terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, has also been accused
of requesting the names of individuals associated with Trump’s campaign and
transition team that were referenced in intelligence reports. Rice has denied
that she or anyone else in the Obama administration used intelligence
information for political purposes.
Rice, who
declined Graham’s request for testimony via a letter from her lawyer, said
she turned down the invitation because it came only from the South Carolina
Republican and was not bipartisan in nature.

June 4: In the wake
of another terror attack in London, former Obama administration national
security adviser Susan Rice has said that President Trump's proposed travel ban
would likely not protect the U.S. from such threats
"There is really no evidence to suggest that by banning Muslims, or banning
Muslims from a particular set of six countries, that we would make ourselves
here in the United States safer. And that's I believe, one of the major reasons
why the courts thus far have been very skeptical of the travel ban."

September 18: Rice told House investigators
why she unmasked senior Trump officials
... her explanation appears to have satisfied some influential Republicans on
the committee, undercutting both Nunes and Trump and raising new questions about
whether any Trump associates tried to arrange back-channel discussions with the
Russians.

Former national
security adviser Susan Rice's
son is an outspoken Trump supporter and serves as the president of Stanford
University's College Republicans.
John David Rice-Cameron told Fox News this week that he distanced himself from
his parents' political views and is now a conservative who is determined to "
Make Stanford Great Again."
Despite their opposite political beliefs, Rice-Cameron told the outlet that he
has a close relationship with his mother.
“My mother and I have a great relationship, and my mother believes strongly in
the free and respectful exchange of ideas,” Rice-Cameron told Fox News. “We
disagree on most of the standard Republican-Democrat disagreements. However, we
agree that America is the greatest nation the world has ever seen, and thus, we
believe that America has an important role to play as a force for liberty and
justice on the world stage.”

June 10: Susan Rice Slams Trump For
"Disgraceful" Comments About Letting Russia Back Into G7

June 13: North Korea's Nuclear Threat Is
Real And Present, Rice Says
... it's a rather preposterous claim for the president to tweet that there's no
longer a nuclear threat from North Korea. Worse still, I think it's quite
concerning because it suggests one of two things, either that he views this
summit as all show and for political purposes rather than to address the
substantive problem of North Korea's nuclear capacity and missile capacity, or
that he really doesn't understand at all how grave and how pernicious the North
Korean nuclear threat really is and therefore is not in a position to lead and
guide a very serious long-term negotiation to eradicate it.

August 15:
Criticized For Racism, Trump Goes After Black Former National Security Adviser
Susan Rice’s name is included on a list of officials who have criticized Trump,
even though she has kept a relatively low profile.
As President
Donald Trump’s White House struggled with accusations of racism over his
attacks on African-American former aide
Omarosa Manigault Newman, on Wednesday he announced security clearance
reviews of a number of vocal critics ― and
Susan Rice, who is also African-American.
Rice ... was included on a list of names Trump is reviewing to see whether
they will continue to have the ability to receive classified information.
High-ranking intelligence, military and diplomatic officials are generally
permitted to hold onto their security clearances after they leave their jobs so
that they can be brought in to offer their expertise later.
