President Donald Trump said Friday he is revoking former President Joe Biden's security clearances and access to intelligence reports after Biden did the same thing to Trump in 2021.
"There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Therefore, we are immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearances and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings."
Biden cut Trump off from intelligence reports shortly after taking office in 2021. The decision came a month after a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Biden said Trump's "erratic behavior unrelated to the insurrection" warranted the move. The intelligence information traditionally is provided to former presidents.
