WASHINGTON, March 21 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday rescinded the security clearances for former Vice President Kamala Harris and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others, according to a memorandum issued by the White House.
The Republican president, who has also revoked the security clearance for former President Joe Biden, faced Clinton in the 2016 presidential election and Harris in last year's election.

Just happened. More to come.
Well, I hate to get anything from Newsmax, but I can't find the rest of this story anywhere else. It does credit Reuters for the story. WTF?
The Orange Menace declared:
"I have determined that it is no longer in the national interest for the following individuals to access classified information,” Trump wrote in the memorandum sent to all executive departments and agency heads before naming all of the individuals affected."
The list includes former Secretary of State Antony Blinken and former Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco and "any other member of Joe R. Biden's family," he wrote.
The individuals named in the memo have been central figures in various investigations, prosecutions, or political opposition to Trump during and after his first term. New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, for example, were involved in civil and criminal cases against the former president in New York.
Former Republican congressional lawmakers Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney served on the House January 6th Committee, while Jake Sullivan and Blinken were among the most senior officials in the current Biden administration.

This is the least of our problems right now. Harris and Clinton have no right to security clearances.

What right do they have to be in the loop? They have no official post in government. Let's focus on real issues.
