(AmericanProsperity.com) – Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden are among the political figures hit by President Donald Trump’s most recent bombshell decision.
Specifically, the president has decisively revoked their security clearances in a sweeping executive action that cuts off their access to classified information.
The move targets not only his former political rivals but also dozens of Biden administration officials, Never-Trump Republicans, and prosecutors who have targeted the president with lawsuits and investigations.
The presidential memo explicitly states that President Trump has “determined that it is no longer in the national interest for the following individuals to access classified information.”
The order immediately bars these former officials from receiving intelligence briefings, including the President’s Daily Brief, and blocks their unescorted access to secure government facilities.
The extensive list includes former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, former National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and former Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.
It also targets Republican critics like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, who participated in the January 6 congressional investigation against President Trump.
The president’s order also cuts off officials who testified against him during his first impeachment trial, including Fiona Hill and Alexander Vindman.
The memorandum directs all executive departments and agencies to immediately implement these restrictions, demonstrating the administration’s commitment to cleaning house.
Millions of Americans will recall that Biden took similar action against President Trump in 2021, barring him from receiving intelligence briefings after leaving office.
The memo appears to deliver a measured response to that decision, though President Trump’s action is far more thorough in scope.
The president’s directive did not spare legal adversaries. New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg had their clearances pulled.
Both James and Bragg are responsible for politically motivated prosecutions against President Trump.
Attorneys who participated in investigations targeting the president, including Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissmann, were also included.
The revocations follow an earlier action by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who had already begun stripping clearances from certain officials earlier this month.
This coordinated approach demonstrates the administration’s systematic effort to protect national security from those who may misuse their access.
While former presidents typically retain security clearances as a courtesy, President Trump has shown that national security concerns take precedence over tradition.
This differs sharply from how classified information was handled under Biden.
The previous administration’s Justice Department acknowledged that Biden improperly retained classified documents, though he faced no consequences like the legal persecution President Trump endured.
The order represents another promise kept by the president to drain the swamp and protect sensitive information from those who have demonstrated they cannot be trusted with the nation’s secrets.
By removing these clearances, President Trump has ensured America’s classified information stays in reliable hands.
