Trump revokes security clearances for top diplomat, security official under Biden

President Donald Trump has revoked security clearances for Antony Blinken, the former secretary of state, and Jake Sullivan, the former national security adviser, White House officials said on Saturday.

The move came a day after Trump said he had revoked the security clearance for his predecessor Joe Biden, stopping his access to daily intelligence briefings.

Trump also revoked security clearances for Biden's Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, who helped coordinate the Department of Justice's response to the January 6, 2021, attacks on the U.S. Capitol, the officials said.

He also removed the clearances of the New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg who led cases against Trump, the officials said.
