Trump strips security clearances from Anthony Blinken, Letitia James and Alvin Bragg
Daily Mail UK ^ | February 8, 2025 | Bethan Sexton

Donald Trump has stripped security clearances from several leading Democrats, including former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

The measure comes as the president continues his crackdown on his most vocal opponents and just hours after James managed to block Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the US Treasury's payment system.

Former National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Biden’s Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and attorneys Andrew Weissmann, Mark Zaid and Norm Eisen are also among those to have their clearance revoked, the New York Post reports.

The action was described as 'largely symbolic' by former Trump attorney Tim Parlatore.

However, those targeted may be unable to enter federal buildings including courthouses, prisons and law enforcement facilities, hampering their ability to carry out their official duties.

It comes a day after Trump revoked Joe Biden's security clearance and his access to daily presidential briefs.

'There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information,' Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday.

He added that the precedent for his behavior was set by the former president when Biden blocked the intelligence community from allowing him to access national security intel.

The day I left my job, I was no longer able to access any information which I had previously been privy to. Same applies. FAFO is the standard policy the dems promoted. FAFO is their continued path.

Why would moronic revolutionary leftists like James and Bragg have them? Since Brennan and Obama being a Communist being disqualifying to required I guess.

Former presidents never lose it. Even Carter had it till he died.

However Mrs. Bill Clinton should lose hers.

How did Bragg and James get them in the first place? Does every county prosecutor and state attorney general get a clearance?

However, they took away President Trump’s as if he had never been president. Hillary has no need for such info, she at least a thief and probably much worse.

I do not know. How that information is disseminated needs to be examined.

IIRC, HRC asked for hers to be removed a while back.

I’m surprised he didn’t do Blinken when he did the 51 who signed the Hunter Laptop letter as Blinken was THE ORGANIZER of it.

Why would a state prosecutor like Letitia James have a federal security clearance in the first place?

Why do Letitia and Alvin need security clearances in the first place?

REALLY? This means nothing to them. They laugh at this edict. They have spit on the constitution and broken the law constantly they’ll break this one too. You see because evil knows no shame. They laugh at the word shame. How can you have shame when you have no conviction or soul? These people belong in prison not barred from Buildings. But behind bars.
