Overview

• President Donald Trump has officially revoked the security clearances of 15 individuals, including Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Hillary Clinton.
• The revocation extends to members of Biden's family and two Republican critics, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, who served on the January 6th investigation committee.
• Trump justified the move by claiming continued access to classified information by these individuals is 'no longer in the national interest.'
• This action follows Biden's 2021 decision to restrict Trump's access to certain national security information, citing his 'erratic behavior.'
• Critics argue the decision is politically motivated, breaking with the tradition of former officials retaining security clearances for national security continuity.
