Trump Revokes Biden's Access to Intelligence Briefings

President Trump cites past precedent and a special counsel report to justify removing his predecessor's security clearance.

President Donald Trump has revoked former President Joe Biden's access to classified intelligence briefings, a privilege typically extended to former presidents.
Trump announced the decision on Truth Social, stating there is no need for Biden to have access to sensitive information.
The move mirrors Biden's 2021 decision to limit Trump's access to intelligence, citing concerns over Trump's 'erratic behavior' at the time.
Trump referenced Special Counsel Robert Hur's report on Biden's handling of classified documents, which raised questions about Biden's memory and suitability for sensitive information, though no criminal charges were recommended.
This decision has reignited tensions between the two leaders, highlighting ongoing political and personal animosity.
