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

The unprecedented move targets over a dozen political opponents and critics, citing national interest concerns.

President Donald Trump issued a formal memorandum revoking security clearances for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, and over a dozen others, including Republican critics Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.
The memo states that the decision was made because it is 'no longer in the national interest' for these individuals to have access to classified information.
The revocations also extend to private sector roles requiring classified access and unescorted entry to secure government facilities.
This action follows Biden's 2021 decision to revoke Trump's security clearance, marking an escalation in politically charged use of such measures.
Critics view the move as unprecedented political retaliation, highlighting deepening divisions and raising concerns about national security norms.
