It was noted that their access to classified information was no longer deemed in the national interest.

Furthermore, these individuals also lost “unescorted access to secure United States Government facilities.”

The move follows a similar announcement earlier this month by Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, who had revoked the security clearances of several of the individuals named in Trump’s memo.

Gabbard also announced the suspension of security access for the 51 signers of the controversial Hunter Biden “disinformation” letter.

Gabbard emphasized that Joe Biden would no longer receive access to the President’s Daily Brief, a key intelligence report provided to top officials.

Per @POTUS directive, I have revoked security clearances and barred access to classified information for Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and Andrew Weissman, along with the 51 signers of the Hunter Biden…

The memo did not offer specific reasoning behind the decision, but the White House’s action makes it clear that these individuals will no longer have the same privileges when it comes to handling sensitive government materials.

This move comes as part of broader steps taken by President Trump to address concerns about security and accountability.

Reactions to the announcement have been mixed. Some of the individuals named in the memo dismissed the decision on social media, downplaying its significance. Mark Zaid and Norman Eisen were quick to respond, with Zaid commenting that this was “like the third time” his clearance had been revoked.

Former Congressman Adam Kinzinger posted a video, asserting that he had retired from the military a year ago and did not currently hold a security clearance.

Kinzinger also used the opportunity to criticize President Trump, calling him a “dumba**.”

In a related move, President Trump also announced the revocation of Secret Service protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden, marking a notable step in the ongoing controversy surrounding the Biden family’s security arrangements.

Trump criticized the expense of providing protection for Hunter Biden, pointing out that the detail included as many as 18 agents, at the taxpayers’ expense.

“Please be advised that, effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection. Likewise, Ashley Biden, who has 13 agents, will be taken off the list,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

Under federal law, former U.S. presidents and their spouses are entitled to Secret Service protection for life.

However, protection for their children typically ends when they leave office.

Both President Trump and President Biden extended Secret Service protection for their children beyond the standard protocol, but Trump’s latest move has sparked further debate over the matter.

This series of decisions underscores the ongoing tension between President Trump and the Biden-Harris administration, particularly in the realm of national security and the handling of sensitive information.

While the motives behind the revocation of security clearances remain unclear, it is clear that the memo has added another layer of complexity to the already strained political landscape.
