President Donald Trump on Friday announced he is revoking former President Joe Biden’s security clearances and stopping his daily intelligence briefings.
“There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social Friday night.
The privileges will be revoked immediately, according to the president.
Special Counsel Robert Hur submitted a report on Biden’s alleged improper retention of classified records, which confirmed the former president’s frequent memory lapses and contradicted his claims.
Hur also testified in March that he found evidence that “pride and money” motivated Biden to retain classified documents.
However, he did not recommend criminal charges against Biden.
