Trump Revokes Biden’s Security Clearance and Intelligence Briefings
Donald Trump has revoked Joe Biden’s security clearance and access to intelligence briefings, a privilege traditionally extended to former presidents. Trump justified the move by citing Biden’s alleged “poor memory” and concerns over handling sensitive information, referencing the Hur Report’s findings.
Trump announced the decision on Truth Social, writing, “There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information.” He also took a jab at Biden, saying, “JOE, YOU’RE FIRED.”
The move follows Biden’s 2021 decision to deny Trump intelligence briefings, citing his “erratic behavior.” Trump has also revoked clearances for former intelligence officials and critics, including Mark Milley and Anthony Fauci.
