BRIDGEWATER, New Jersey, March 21 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday took away security clearances for former Vice President Kamala Harris, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others in his latest move against his Democratic opponents.

The memorandum was issued hours after Trump arrived at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf property for the weekend.
Trump also targeted Republican former Representative Liz Cheney, a sharp Trump critic, former Biden White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan and Fiona Hill, a Russia expert who served on his National Security Council during his first term.
Mark Zaid, a national security lawyer in Washington who represents whistleblowers, and Adam Kinzinger, a former Republican lawmaker who is a sharp Trump critic, were among several others who had their security clearances revoked.

(2 posts)Well, once again the Repugs have beat us to what WE SHOULD HAVE DONE when dump was out there and lying and defying contempts of court. We should have yanked his security detail, saving the taxpayers tons of money. Now, we turns around and does an act to harm innocent people. HE however, was a convicted FELON and under indictments in Georgia. He deserved to lose his security detail. I am sick of the Dems never haivng the EFFING GUTS to do what needs to be done. They must come out of the smoke and understand our current political scene, and stop being n ice, polite, accommodating and pretending that any of this is remotely normal. I am so pissed. I saw a flag recently at a protest: it had We The People (in the font of the Constitution) are pissed.

(12,412 posts)The question of who should have access to the nation's secrets is one of the utmost importance. In the past two presidential terms, that question has been aimed at former presidents themselves.
In 2021, then-President Biden barred then-former President Donald Trump access to intelligence briefings, arguing that Trump could not be trusted because of his "erratic behavior."
More specifically, Trump said he would immediately revoke Biden's "security clearances," though in reality, Biden did not have a security clearance to begin with.
