Trump Revokes Security Clearances of More Former and Current Officials

by

Security clearances were also revoked for New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

President Donald Trump on Saturday revoked security clearances for Antony Blinken, the former secretary of state, and Jake Sullivan, the former national security adviser.

White House officials said Trump also revoked security clearances for former Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Monaco helped coordinate the Department of Justice’s response to the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol, White House officials said. Both James and Bragg led legal cases against Trump.

The actions were first reported by the New York Post.
The move was made a day after Trump revoked the security clearance of his predecessor, former President Joe Biden.

As a result, Biden will no longer have access to daily intelligence briefings.

While former U.S. presidents have traditionally received intelligence briefings so they can advise incumbent presidents on national security and foreign policy, Biden decided to revoke Trump’s access to intelligence briefings after he took office, citing the events of Jan. 6, 2021.
