Susan Sarandon Says She Was Denied White House Clearance

Susan Sarandon was denied security clearance to visit the White House, the liberal actress revealed in a 75-minute conversation with audience members sponsored by the Tribeca Film Festival.

“I was denied a security clearance to go to the White House and I don’t know why,” the Oscar winner said during the Question and Answer portion of the session Sunday that was part of the 11-day event in New York’s Lower Manhattan, reports The Daily Mail. 

Sarandon, who was answering questions alongside left-wing activist/filmmaker Michael Moore, went on to claim that the government has been tapping her phone.

“We know we’re under surveillance,” Sarandon said, adding that she has seen the file the government has on her thanks to Freedom of Information requests.
