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.
