President Donald Trump has decided to remove security clearances for several Democrats, including former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and New York Attorney General Letitia James, both of whom are vocal Trump critics.
Former National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Biden’s Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and attorneys Andrew Weissmann, Mark Zaid and Norm Eisen.
The move comes a day after Trump stripped his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, of his security clearance and his access to presidential daily briefs.
"There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social Friday night.
He added the precedent was set by Biden himself.
"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," Trump wrote.

Why would Letiesha and Alvin have security clearances in the first place?
That’s what I’m wondering.
Good question...probably so they could get potential dirt on Trump.
Blinken should be in jail for pushing that false Hunter laptop story (along with those that signed that bogus claim). It helped Biden in the debate with a totally false narrative that the FBI knew was totally false at the time.
Agree.
It’s time to go to zero-based clearances; every time an admin changes, or every year, ALL security clearances should have to be renewed. Right after voter registration lists are scrubbed. Dead people, retired people, former this or that should not have access to stuff without a need to know. After all, who elected them?
Win
That's my question too. They can only bring State, City and County charges within New York State. They have no purview when it comes to Federal law. Who granted these clearances? That needs to be discovered, and the person held accountable for allowing non-Federal office holders to have access to Federally classified information.
The East Coast Axis of Evil!
Why would they have them in the first place? Hood rats?
still winning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice
Ha, he pulled Mark Zaid’s!
Huh? That silly fad dies years ago.
These things are on a “need to know” basis,
and you don’t need to know.
All of them should be investigated. I’d bet a thousand dollars they have committed serious crimes.
I’m glad he took Zaid’s clearance away. Such a pompous, self absorbed p—-k.
Terrorist cases are tried in their turf
Hopefully they took Zaid’s partner’s as well.
