Trump Revokes Biden's Security Clearances Amid Tensions
In a surprising move, Trump states he is stripping Biden of his access to classified information.
Trump made the announcement in a post on his Truth Social platform, declaring, "There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information." He elaborated that his administration’s decision to revoke Biden’s security clearances was a direct response to the precedent set by Biden when he restricted intelligence briefings from Trump after taking office.
In his post, Trump insisted that Biden’s handling of sensitive information warranted such actions, referencing a Justice Department inquiry concerning the Democrat's management of classified files. He emphasized this with pointed remarks about Biden's capabilities, stating, "Biden could not be trusted with sensitive information," and insinuating that Biden’s memory issues raised concerns.
Biden, who has recently remained out of the public eye following his presidency, has not yet issued a response to Trump’s claims. When Biden assumed the presidency in 2021, he had previously barred Trump from receiving intelligence briefings, citing concerns over his "erratic behavior."
