Trump Administration Revokes Security Clearances for Key Political Opponents

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announces the removal of access to classified information for Biden-era officials and legal figures tied to Trump-related investigations.

Tulsi Gabbard, under President Trump's directive, revoked security clearances for over 50 individuals, including former Biden administration officials and legal figures involved in cases against Trump.
Prominent figures affected include Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and Andrew Weissman, along with the signers of the Hunter Biden 'disinformation' letter.
Former President Joe Biden was also stripped of access to the President's Daily Brief, with Trump citing concerns over Biden's memory and trustworthiness with classified information.
Critics of the move, including attorney Mark Zaid, have raised concerns about due process, referencing existing executive orders on security clearance procedures.
Trump has framed the revocations as part of his administration's efforts to hold individuals accountable for actions he perceives as election interference or mishandling of classified information.
