JUST IN: Trump strips security clearances from Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Adam Kinzinger, Alvin Bragg, Liz Cheney, Antony Blinken, and more
“I have determined that it is no longer in the national interest for the following individuals to access classified information.”
President Donald Trump has stripped security clearance for former Vice President Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, and several people in former President Joe Biden's family, among others.
On Friday evening, Trump signed an executive action that said, "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."
"Therefore, I hereby direct every executive department and agency head to take all additional action as necessary and consistent with existing law to revoke any active security clearances held by the aforementioned individuals and to immediately rescind their access to classified information. I also direct all executive department and agency heads to revoke unescorted access to secure United States Government facilities from these individuals," the order added.
The memo continued, saying, "This action includes, but is not limited to, receipt of classified briefings, such as the President’s Daily Brief, and access to classified information held by any member of the Intelligence Community by virtue of the named individuals’ previous tenure in the Congress."
The action comes after Trump has previously revoked security clearances for other government officials, including the 51 intelligence agents who signed a letter that falsely claimed that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation.
Trump has also revoked security clearances for lawyers at the law firm that worked with ex-Special Counsel Jack Smith, when the prosecutor was investigating Trump on multiple cases.
