US EditionTrump administration revokes security clearances of 37 current and former government officials
The revocations target officials accused of politicizing intelligence, including members of Biden's team and former intelligence chiefs, as part of a campaign to challenge 2016 election interference findings.
- On Tuesday, the administration revoked the security clearances of 37 current and former national security officials, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said President Donald Trump ordered the action.
- The move follows an effort to revisit the 2017 intelligence community assessment on Russian election interference, including declassification of years-old documents and revoking clearances of more than four dozen former intelligence officials .
- Gabbard's document accused officials like James Clapper, John Brennan, Leon Panetta and John Bolton of `politicization or weaponization of intelligence` but offered no evidence.
- Stripping clearances could hinder affected employees and former officials, many of whom learned of the action from news reports Tuesday, while anonymous officials are considering legal action.
- Multiple government investigations into 2016 Russian interference confirmed extensive meddling, while the Justice Department grand jury probe scrutinizes Obama-era officials and federal courts struck down executive orders targeting prominent law firms this year.
