Jared Kushner, senior adviser to President Donald Trump, has again come under fire for failure to correctly fill in details on government forms.

Democratic opposition research group American Bridge revealed on Wednesday (local time) that Mr Kushner, married to Mr Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump, checked the box classifying himself as female when enrolling to vote in 2009.

This comes after Mr Kushner has repeatedly failed to fill out his White House security clearance form correctly. Since arriving at the White House he has had to resubmit the form three times.

The multiple inconsistencies are casting doubts on Mr Kushner's ability to act as a White House official.

"Kushner can't even fill out the most basic paperwork without screwing it up, so it's a mystery why anyone thinks he's somehow going to bring peace to the Middle East," American Bridge's Brad Bainum told Wired.

"Would anyone but the President's son-in-law still have a West Wing job after repeated disclosure errors and a botched a security clearance form?"

Mr Kushner's current duties are reported to include restructuring the US government, brokering peace in the Middle East and providing essential advice to Mr Trump.
