Trump Revokes Security Clearance From Political Foes, Including Biden, Harris And Clinton
President Donald Trump revoked security clearances from a slew of his political opponents in a memo on Friday.
Former President Donald Trump issued a memo on Friday revoking security clearances for several political figures, citing national interest concerns.
"I have determined that it is no longer in the national interest for the following individuals to access classified information," Trump stated.
Among those affected are top Democrats, including President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris, along with key figures such as New York Attorney General Letitia James, who previously prosecuted Trump for fraud.
The full list includes:
Joe Biden and "any other member" of his family
Antony Blinken, former Secretary of State
Alvin Bragg, Manhattan District Attorney
Liz Cheney, former Wyoming Rep.
Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State
Norman Eisen, attorney and former ambassador
Kamala Harris, former Vice President
Fiona Hill, former National Security Council official
Letitia James, New York Attorney General
Adam Kinzinger, former Illinois Rep.
Lisa Monaco, former Deputy Attorney General
Jake Sullivan, former National Security Adviser
Alexander Vindman, former National Security Council official
Andrew Weissman, attorney
Mark Zaid, attorney
Trump directed federal agencies to ensure these individuals lose access to classified materials, including intelligence briefings.
This decision follows Trump's earlier move in February to strip Biden of his security clearance and daily intelligence briefings.
Additionally, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently announced security clearance revocations for several individuals listed in Trump’s memo.
As of Friday, those named will no longer receive classified briefings, including the President’s Daily Brief, nor will they retain access to classified information linked to their former government roles.
