Trump: Revokes Security Clearances

In a striking break from long-standing tradition, U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday revoked the security clearances of former Vice President Kamala Harris and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, along with several other Democratic opponents.

This move follows Trump’s earlier decision to strip former President Joe Biden of his clearance, further cementing his controversial approach toward political rivals.

Historically, American presidents have refrained from removing security clearances from former high-ranking officials out of respect for continuity and national security. However, Trump is once again defying that precedent.

He defeated Clinton in the 2016 presidential election and Harris in last year’s race, further highlighting the political tensions underlying the decision.
