Donald Trump has revoked former President Joe Biden’s security clearance and access
to daily intelligence briefings, a significant move that contradicts a longstanding
tradition of former presidents receiving such privileges. Trump justified the action
by claiming Biden “could not be trusted” with sensitive information, referencing an
investigation into Biden’s memory issues. Trump also accused Biden of excluding him
from briefings in 2021 due to concerns over his behavior. Trump’s decision to rescind
security clearances for Biden and other former officials, like CIA directors and Dr. Anthony Fauci,
aligns with his broader agenda of dismantling his predecessor’s policies.
He argued that these actions were necessary for national security,
despite criticisms from Biden and others about Trump’s erratic behavior
