President Donald Trump announced on Friday that former President Joe Biden’s security clearance and access to classified information has been revoked “immediately” revoked.
“There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information. Therefore, we are immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearance, and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Friday.
“He set this precedent in 2021, when he instructed the Intelligence Community (IC) to stop the 45th President of the United States (ME!) from accessing details on National Security, a courtesy provided to former Presidents. The Hunter Report revealed that Biden suffers from ‘poor memory’ and, even in his ‘prime,’ could not be trusted with sensitive information. I will always protect our National Security — JOE, YOU’RE FIRED. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he continued.

Trump referenced Biden previously revoking his intelligence briefings following Trump’s first term in office, as Biden stated at the time, “I just think that there is no need for him to have the intelligence briefings.”
“What value is giving him an intelligence briefing? What impact does he have at all, other than the fact that he might slip and say something?”
Additionally, Trump referenced the Hur Report, which was investigated and submitted last February by Special Counsel Robert Hurd. The report was in regard to Biden retaining classified information, which Hurst later testified in March that “pride and money” led the former president to hold on to the classified documents.
Hur’s findings also questioned Biden’s mental capacity as he reportedly had frequent memory lapses. Despite Hur’s findings, he did not recommend charges be brought against Biden, due to his poor mental state and insufficient evidence to hold the case up in court.
“I did not sanitize my explanation. Nor did I disparage the president unfairly,” Hur added.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is pulling the security protections and clearance of retired Joint Chiefs chairman General Mark Milley.
The new defense secretary is also tasking the new acting Inspector General to conduct a review board to determine if enough evidence exists for Gen. Milley to be stripped of a star in retirement based on his actions to “undermine the chain of command” during President Donald Trump’s first term, officials say.
The inspector general review will include “an inquiry into the facts and circumstances surrounding Gen. Milley’s conduct so that the Secretary may determine whether it is appropriate to reopen his military grade review determination,” Pentagon spokesman John Ullyot said.
“The secretary informed Gen. Milley today that he is revoking the authorization for his security detail and suspending his security clearance as well,” he said.
Milley is known for serving as chairman during President Donald Trump’s first term in office. The relationship started out strong. However, it worsened over time as Milley tried to advise Trump on multiple issues.
He’s known for pushing back on the president’s interest in using force domestically to stop protestors after the death of George Floyd, and was at the center of a controversy in 2021 when he made independent calls to his Chinese counterpart. At the time, Trump said the calls were an act of treason, but Milley claimed the calls were routine and part of his responsibilities.
During his final days as chairman, after Trump had left office, he was outspoken about his former boss. He said at his official retirement ceremony “we don’t take an oath to a king or a queen or to a tyrant or a dictator. We don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator.”
“We don’t take an oath to an individual. We take an oath to the Constitution, and we take an oath to the idea that is America, and we’re willing to die to protect it,” he said at the time.
According to Hegseth’s chief of staff, Joe Kasper, the decision to strip Milley of his clearance and details was taken because “undermining the chain of command is corrosive to our national security, and restoring accountability is a priority for the Defense Department under President Trump’s leadership.”
Additional moves might include getting rid of Milley’s Army chief of staff portrait. Milley’s chairman portrait was stripped from the wall just hours after Trump was sworn in.
