US President Donald Trump has revoked Joe Biden’s security clearance, barring his predecessor from receiving daily intelligence briefings as he continues a political revenge campaign throughout Washington.
“There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information. Therefore, we are immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearances, and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Friday.
The president’s move was payback for when Biden pulled Trump’s security clearance in the wake of the January 6 attack on the Capitol: “He set this precedent in 2021,” Trump said.
