Former President Donald Trump has revoked the security clearances of several prominent political figures, including Vice President Kamala Harris, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and former Vice President Joe Biden. Trump cited concerns about their handling of classified information as the reason for the revocation.
In a statement, Trump confirmed he was revoking the security clearance of Joe Biden and any other member of the Biden family who held one. The move effectively bars these individuals from accessing classified government information.
This decision has drawn criticism from many who view it as a politically motivated attack against his opponents. Some experts argue that revoking security clearances for former officials is unusual and sets a dangerous precedent. Supporters of the former president, however, maintain that it is within his authority to protect classified information and ensure national security.
