President Donald Trump has revoked the security clearances for Antony Blinken, former Secretary of State, and Jake Sullivan, former National Security Advisor, according to a statement from the White House on Saturday.
The move came one day after Trump announced that he had also revoked the security clearance of his predecessor, Joe Biden, denying him access to daily intelligence briefings.
Trump also ordered the termination of the security clearance for Deputy Attorney General of Biden’s administration, Lisa Monaco, who assisted in coordinating the Department of Justice’s response to the January 6, 2021, attacks on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters.
Additionally, Trump revoked the security clearances for New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, both of whom have led cases against him.
In 2021, Biden had revoked Trump’s security clearance when he was still a former president.
