President Donald Trump decided on Saturday to remove security clearances for several Democrats, including former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Trump has frequently criticized these individuals, especially for their involvement in legal matters related to him.
The decision came just a day after Trump stripped former President Joe Biden of his security clearance and access to presidential daily briefs. Trump argued that Biden no longer needed access to classified information, citing a precedent set by Biden himself. Other figures, such as Jake Sullivan and Lisa Monaco, also had their clearances revoked.
