Trump administration revokes security clearances of 37 current and former government officials
Tulsi Gabbard revoked clearances citing abuse of trust and politicization of intelligence, affecting 37 officials linked to the Russiagate report, under President Trump's directive.
- On Tuesday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revoked the security clearances of 37 current and former intelligence officials at President Donald Trump's direction, ordering immediate termination of access.
- Gabbard cited newly released documents showing the December 7, 2016 intelligence finding that Russia likely had not meaningfully interfered, asserting officials 'politicized and manipulated' intelligence to undermine trust.
- The list names individuals including Stephanie O'Sullivan and Vinh Nguyen, ordering immediate termination of access to classified systems, government employment, contracts, and surrender of credentials.
- Targets face immediate career impacts as those targeted lose access to private-sector consulting and jobs requiring clearances, critics warn of weaponization and legal actions, while the Department of Justice forms a strike force.
- Multiple investigations have reached different findings: for example, the Trump administration revisits the 2017 Russia intelligence assessment despite multiple government investigations confirming Russia's 2016 interference and Special Counsel John Durham's report on investigative flaws.
