President Donald Trump revoked the security clearances of Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Liz Cheney and several other opponents who either severely criticized or acted against him.
The White House released a memo on Friday that read: “I have determined that it is no longer in the national interest for the following individuals to access classified information: Antony Blinken, Jacob Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Andrew Weissmann, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Cheney, Kamala Harris, Adam Kinzinger, Fiona Hill, Alexander Vindman, Joseph R. Biden Jr., and any other member of Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s family.”
Earlier this month, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard stated that she had revoked the security clearances of numerous officials identified in Trump’s memo and prohibited them from having access to secret material. She added “the 51 signers of the Hunter Biden ‘disinformation’ letter” also had their clearances withdrawn.
“Former President Biden will no longer receive the President’s Daily Brief.”
The people named in Trump’s memorandum have had their “unescorted access to secure United States Government facilities” withdrawn, along with their security clearances.
Several people listed in Trump’s memo mostly dismissed it in social media posts reacting to the news. Both Zaid and Eisen said it was “like the third time” their security clearances were revoked. Kinzinger posted a video saying that he “retired a year ago from the military” and doesn’t have a clearance before calling the president a “dumba–.”
The security clearance memo comes just days after Trump announced that he was stripping Hunter and Ashley Biden of their Secret Service protection.
For a long time, Hunter Biden has been protected by the Secret Service, which is entirely funded by US taxpayers. This Detail has up to eighteen members, which is absurd! Trump posted on Truth Social. “Please be aware that Hunter Biden will no longer be protected by the Secret Service as of right now. Ashley Biden, who now has 13 agents, will also be removed from the list.
Former presidents and their spouses are protected by the Secret Service for the rest of their lives under federal law, but their immediate family members no longer have that security once they leave office. Both Trump and Biden offered their children security before to their departures from office, the Associated Press said.
END IT!
