EXCLUSIVE: Trump Bans Intel Officials Who Pushed Russian Disinfo Hoax From Federal Buildings
Daily Wire ^ | 1/31/25 | Brent Scher and Mary Margaret Olohan

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is taking further action against the 50 former intelligence officials who falsely suggested Hunter Biden’s laptop was “part of a Russian disinformation campaign,” instructing agencies to also ban those individuals from stepping foot in secure U.S. government facilities, according to a memo obtained by The Daily Wire. The Jan. 29 cabinet memorandum, first obtained by The Daily Wire, expands Trump’s day-one executive order, which revoked the security clearance for the 50 individuals. Sent “on behalf of the President,” it orders the country’s top national security agencies to “revoke unescorted access to secure U.S. Government facilities from the 50 former intelligence officials named in the Executive Order.” “These individuals no longer possess a need to access secure facilities, and as outlined in the Executive Order, do not have the appropriate security clearances to access classified information,” the memo states.

Of course. Even if he “couldn’t,” it is better to apologize than ask permission.

LOVE IT

These DC deep-state parasites have spent their entire lives playing palace politics, selling access and selling influence.

Trump has completely cut them off from their corrupt means of sustenance.

Now they can re-train as line cooks, pipe-fitters, machinists or accountants - ie) a REAL job.

Speaking of winning, I just watched another masterful performance by Trump’s press secretary. My guess is that she would have been in Congress already, were it not for the usual NH election shenanigans. But I wonder where she’ll aim in four years. Governor, like Sarah Huckabee? Congress again? Maybe to retire Sen. Hassan?

"They should also be banned from any type of security clearance so they cannot cash in from private contractors."

He's already taken away their clearances. He may have already ordered no more clearances for them during his Administration, but someone needs to stay on top of this so that they don't apply again during these four years, and slip through the cracks.

I believe President Trump revoked those clearances already.

Imagine your regret if you were a last minute go along?? This is huge, from now on, even in a democrat era, bureuracrats will fear a judgement day for lying.

Would be an interesting development if a democrat invited them into the congressional SCIF.

He would simply be denied entry because he has no clearance. Even congress critters must have a clearance to enter.

If a congress member got him in regardless the member would loose their clearance and all future access.

I don't understand why these people's clearances weren't cancelled when they left federal service just like every other federal employee.

Hopefully this includes all military installations and facilities...so even ROTC and recruiting buildings are included along with the service academies.

More to the point, we don’t want people who actively altered the course of a Presidential campaign to have access to any government building or secure systems.

Can he do that?

As Chief of the Executive branch, I believe he can.

The purpose of the letter from 51 tax-paid intel types was
<><>to protect the Bidens.....
<><>to give Joe Biden a “talking point” at the debate
<><>to cover-up Hunter’s criminal laptop exploits.
