Washington, D.C. – Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) today, President Donald J. Trump announced that his administration has revoked the security clearances of several high-profile officials of previous Biden administration , including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and Joe Biden members of what he referred to as the “Joe Biden crime family.”
Trump stated that these individuals would no longer have access to state secrets, accusing them of leveraging their positions for personal gain. “They’ll no longer be able to access state secrets while selling themselves all around the world,” he declared to a cheering audience. The president further emphasized that those whose clearances had been revoked would also be barred from entering government buildings.
The decision marks a significant escalation in Trump’s broader efforts to reshape national security policies and target figures he has long criticized for their roles in previous administrations. Critics argue that the move is politically motivated, while supporters see it as a necessary step to safeguard American interests.
