In a recent memo, Trump emphasized that he believes it is no longer appropriate for individuals like Biden, Harris, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to access classified information, claiming that national security takes precedence over political privileges. The decision intensifies the ongoing tensions between Trump and Biden, particularly following Biden's 2021 choice to deny Trump intelligence briefings, historically granted to former presidents. By stripping the Bidens and others of their clearances, Trump aims to uphold accountability and transparency in national security.

Trump Revokes Security Clearances for Biden and Others, Citing National Interest
In a significant move over the weekend, former President Trump announced the revocation of security clearances for several high-profile political figures, including President Biden and Vice President Harris.
Additionally, Trump highlighted concerns over Hunter Biden's extensive security detail while he vacations in South Africa, a country facing ongoing human rights issues. Ashley Biden’s security entourage is also set to be disbanded. This move signifies Trump's broader message regarding security and the reluctance to maintain ties with perceived failing leadership.
