Trump has revoked Biden’s security clearance and access to intelligence briefings, citing concerns over Biden’s cognitive abilities. This move intensifies their political feud and follows Trump’s previous actions against critics like Mark Milley and Dr. Fauci.
Trump’s decision is part of a pattern of stripping security clearances from those he sees as opponents. He justified it by questioning Biden’s capacity to handle sensitive national security matters.
Biden’s team has not officially responded, but Democrats are condemning the action. Legal experts suggest it could face challenges, as former presidents typically retain intelligence access.
This move further divides the political landscape, with Trump’s supporters backing it as a national security measure and Democrats warning of dangerous precedents. The fallout may intensify as the 2024 election nears.
