President Trump has reportedly ordered security clearances be removed from a number of Democrat officials, after claiming Joe Biden ‘could not be trusted’.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier this week,\u00a0Trump<\/a>\u00a0said he would be\u00a0revoking the former president’s security clearance<\/a>\u00a0and access to daily intelligence briefings, claiming that he can’t ‘be trusted’.<\/p>\n

The president wrote on his Truth Social platform: “There is no need for\u00a0Joe Biden<\/a>\u00a0to continue receiving access to classified information.”<\/p>\n

Trump claimed Biden had done the same to him when he came into office back in 2021, which was the first time an\u00a0ex-president<\/a>\u00a0was blocked from the intelligence briefings.<\/p>\n

“He instructed the Intelligence Community (IC) to stop the 45th President of the United States (ME!) from accessing details on National Security, a courtesy provided to former Presidents,” Trump wrote, adding: “The Hur Report revealed that Biden suffers from ‘poor memory’ and, even in his ‘prime’, could not be trusted with sensitive information.<\/p>\n

“I will always protect our National Security.”<\/p>\n

At the time, Biden said Trump’s ‘erratic behaviour’ was the deciding factor behind the move, explaining: “What value is giving him an intelligence briefing? What impact does he have at all, other than the fact he might slip and say something?”<\/p>\n

According\u00a0to<\/a>\u00a0The New York Post, Trump is now set to remove security clearances from a list of other Democrats, including Antony Blinken, ex-Secretary of State.<\/p>\n

\u201cBad guy. Take away his passes,\u201d Trump told the Post earlier this week. \u201cThis is to take away every right they have [revoking security clearances] including they can\u2019t go into [federal] buildings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also included in the list of officials is New York Attorney General Letitia James – who launched a civil fraud case against Trump last year, in which he was ordered to pay more than $450 million – and Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, who prosecuted Trump last year.<\/p>\n

The move could prevent the officials from carrying out certain duties, as well as entering prisons or courthouses.<\/p>\n

However, attorney Bob Costello explained it’s ‘more an insult and a slap in the face than a real deterrent’.<\/p>\n

Other names on the list reportedly include Biden\u2019s former National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan; former Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco; prosecutor Andrew Weissman; lawyer Mark Zaid and Norm Eisen, who was special counsel to the House Judiciary Committee during Trump’s impeachment.<\/p>\n
