Sat Mar 22 05:26:36 UTC 2025: **Trump Revokes Security Clearances of Biden, Harris, Clinton, and Others**
**Bridgewater, NJ – March 22, 2025** – In a dramatic escalation of political tensions, U.S. President Donald Trump revoked the security clearances of several prominent Democratic figures, including former President Joe Biden, former Vice President Kamala Harris, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The move, announced late Friday in a memorandum, also targeted former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, former Representative Liz Cheney, former Biden national security advisor Jake Sullivan, and Russia expert Fiona Hill. Several other Trump critics, including lawyer Mark Zaid and former Representative Adam Kinzinger, were also affected.
The memorandum stated that President Trump had determined it was no longer in the national interest for these individuals to access classified information. While the immediate impact of the revocations remains unclear, the action underscores the deepening political divide in Washington. The decision follows a similar action taken by President Biden against President Trump in 2021. Traditionally, former presidents receive intelligence briefings to advise on national security matters.
President Trump’s move is widely seen as an act of retribution against his political opponents, coming hours after he arrived at his golf property in Bedminster, New Jersey. The White House has yet to issue an official statement beyond the memorandum.
