Donald Trump Says He’s Revoking Biden’s Security Clearance

Posted by: lukwago J in World news February 8, 2025

In a recent announcement on his Truth Social platform, US President Donald Trump declared the revocation of Joe Biden’s security clearance and access to daily intelligence briefings. Trump cited Biden’s previous actions during his term as a precedent for this decision.

Trump emphasized that there was no necessity for Joe Biden to retain access to classified information.

Using his trademark catchphrase from The Apprentice, Trump bluntly stated, “JOE, YOU’RE FIRED.” He accused Biden of being unfit to handle sensitive information, referencing a justice department inquiry into Biden’s handling of classified files.

In response to Trump’s actions, Biden disputed the allegations of being untrustworthy with classified information.

Despite the justice department inquiry clearing him of any wrongdoing, Trump persisted in his decision to revoke Biden’s security clearance.

Reciprocal actions

This move by Trump marks a reciprocal action to Biden’s decision in 2021 to deny Trump access to classified intelligence briefings.

Biden justified his decision by citing Trump’s behavior as erratic, particularly in the aftermath of the US Capitol riot, which Democrats attributed to Trump’s rhetoric.

The ongoing exchange of revoking security clearances between Donald Trump and Biden underscores the strained relationship between the two former presidents.

As the debate continues, the implications of these actions on national security and governmental norms remain a subject of scrutiny.
