In a significant shift in the political landscape, President Joe Biden has been stripped of his security clearance and access to daily intelligence briefings by former President Donald Trump, who claimed Biden “could not be trusted.” Trump, seeking to revise many policies from the previous administration, stated on Truth Social,
“There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information. ”Trump’s move follows Biden’s decision to block him from receiving intelligence updates in 2021, citing concerns about his “erratic behavior.” Trump also referenced Biden’s alleged memory lapses and handling of sensitive files, calling him unreliable. Trump’s revocation of clearances extends to several former CIA directors, Mark Milley, and Anthony Fauci, accusing them of influencing the 2020 election in Biden’s favor. Trump has defended these actions as necessary for national security and his governance priorities
