‘Joe, You’re Fired’: Trump Revokes Biden’s Security Clearance

President Donald Trump took to social media Friday to announce that he is terminating the security clearances of former President Joe Biden and discontinuing his daily intelligence briefings.

In a Truth Social Post, Trump said Biden no longer needs access to classified information. Trump cited a precedent set by Biden in 2021, when Biden directed the Intelligence Community (IC) to cease providing national security details to the 45th President, a courtesy historically extended to former presidents.

“There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information. Therefore, we are immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearances, and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings,” Trump wrote. “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.”

In the post, Trump referenced the Hur Report, saying it showed Biden has a “poor memory” and was unreliable with sensitive information even at his best. (RELATED: Trump Hits The Brakes On Biden Admin’s EV Charging Network)

“The Hur 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!,” Trump wrote.

The report from Special Counsel Robert K. Hur regarding Biden’s handling of classified documents revealed that Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials post-vice presidency while a private citizen, including documents and handwritten notes on military and foreign policy, particularly regarding Afghanistan. During the hearing on his management of classified documents, Biden insisted that he took the handling of classified information seriously.
