Trump Revokes Security Clearances for Biden, Harris, and 13 Others

Citing national interest, President Trump ends classified access for prominent Democrats, two Republican critics, and Biden family members, raising accusations of political retaliation.

President Donald Trump has officially revoked the security clearances of 15 individuals, including Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Hillary Clinton.
The revocation extends to members of Biden's family and two Republican critics, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, who served on the January 6th investigation committee.
Trump justified the move by claiming continued access to classified information by these individuals is 'no longer in the national interest.'
This action follows Biden's 2021 decision to restrict Trump's access to certain national security information, citing his 'erratic behavior.'
Critics argue the decision is politically motivated, breaking with the tradition of former officials retaining security clearances for national security continuity.
