Trump says he’s ending Biden’s classified intelligence briefings in payback move
AP ^ | Feb 8, 2025

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump said Friday that he’s revoking former President Joe Biden’s access to government secrets and ending the daily intelligence briefings he’s receiving in payback for Biden doing the same to him in 2021.

Trump announced his decision in a post on his social media platform shortly after he arrived at his Mar-a-Lago home and private club in Palm Beach for the weekend.

“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. “He set this precedent in 2021, when he instructed the Intelligence Community (IC) to stop the 45th President of the United States (ME!) from accessing details on National Security, a courtesy provided to former Presidents.”

The move is the latest in a vengeance tour of Washington that Trump promised during his campaign. He has previously revoked security clearances from more than four dozen former intelligence officials who signed a 2020 letter saying that the Hunter Biden laptop saga bore the hallmarks of a “Russian information operation.” He’s also revoked security details assigned to protect former government officials who have criticized him, including his own former secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, who faces threats from Iran, and former infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci.

They can call it a payback move but some may consider this critical security protocols. That family makes a living selling us out.

As if that utter idiot could understand them anyway.

Biden needs to be prosecuted and sent to prison. I hope that nasty corrupt bitch dies in prison.

Why is it payback? It’s just common sense.

Why would an expresident need briefings? He shouldn’t.

Biden didn’t understand briefings when he was president. Why should he get them now?

Just show him episodes of The Andy Griffith Show, and tell him these are the briefings.

So typical of the Leftist AP. Nowhere in Trump’s statement did he say it was payback. Biden is a security risk, that is the reason stated. Biden set the precendent, but that doesn’t make it payback. It is the liars at the AP that decided it was for payback.

Biden doesn't remember what flavor pudding he had for breakfast. That's not the problem. He'd not the only one who sees those daily intel briefings. His handlers are even less to be trusted than he is.

ITS HUNTER.

Anyone in Biden’s condition is a SECURITY RISK, so it was the right thing to do, regardless.
