Trump Revokes Security Clearances for Biden, Blinken, and Legal Critics

President Trump targets nine officials, including former Secretary of State Antony Blinken and New York prosecutors, in a move seen as symbolic retribution.

President Donald Trump has revoked security clearances for nine individuals, including former President Joe Biden, Antony Blinken, and legal figures Letitia James and Alvin Bragg.
The decision follows Trump's earlier revocation of Biden's access to intelligence briefings, citing distrust and concerns over national security.
The targeted individuals include figures involved in past investigations or legal actions against Trump, such as Bragg's hush money case and James' fraud lawsuit.
Critics argue the move is politically motivated and largely symbolic, as some individuals, like James, do not require security clearances for their roles.
Trump's actions are part of broader efforts to retaliate against perceived adversaries, with potential further revocations hinted at by conservative allies.
