**Trump Revokes Security Clearances of Biden and Political Rivals**

**The former president states the decision is based on national security concerns, redefining access protocols for classified information.**


In a significant political shake-up, former President Donald Trump announced the revocation of security clearances for several prominent political figures, including President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. This decision, announced over the weekend, is described by Trump as a necessary step to preserve national interest and security.

In an official memo, Trump clarified that not only Biden but also his immediate family members would have their access to classified information terminated. Trump has also drawn attention to the security measures surrounding Hunter Biden, who is currently vacationing in South Africa, a country that has faced scrutiny over human rights issues. Additionally, Trump's memo notes the end of the security detail for Ashley Biden, comprised of 13 agents.

This latest move follows Biden's 2021 decision to block Trump from receiving intelligence briefings—an unprecedented act that had historical significance as former presidents typically retain this access. By revoking these clearances, Trump sets a new precedent, positioning national security over political ties and suggesting that accountability should extend even to former leaders and influential figures.

As this political landscape evolves, it remains to be seen how this decision will affect future interactions between Trump and his political adversaries, as well as the ongoing discourse surrounding national security protocols in the United States.
