In a sweeping move, President Donald Trump has revoked the security clearances of several high-profile political figures, including former President Joe Biden, former Vice President Kamala Harris, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Okay.ng reports.

The directive, issued by the White House on Saturday, orders the heads of departments and agencies to immediately implement the revocation.

In a formal memorandum, President Trump stated that it was “no longer in the national interest” for these individuals to retain access to classified information.

The list of individuals affected by the directive includes:

  • Antony Blinken (former Secretary of State)
  • Jacob Sullivan (former National Security Adviser)
  • Lisa Monaco (former Deputy Attorney General)
  • Mark Zaid (attorney)
  • Norman Eisen (attorney and former U.S. Ambassador)
  • Letitia James (New York Attorney General)
  • Alvin Bragg (Manhattan District Attorney)
  • Andrew Weissmann (former federal prosecutor)
  • Elizabeth Cheney (former U.S. Representative)
  • Adam Kinzinger (former U.S. Representative)
  • Fiona Hill (former National Security Council official)
  • Alexander Vindman (former National Security Council official)
  • And other members of Joe Biden’s family.

The heads of executive departments and agencies have been instructed to take “all additional action as necessary” to revoke any active security clearances held by these individuals.

According to the memo, those affected will no longer have access to classified information or unescorted access to secure United States Government facilities. They are also barred from receiving classified briefings, including the President’s Daily Brief, and are prohibited from accessing classified information held by any member of the Intelligence Community.

Additionally, President Trump directed U.S. entities to revoke any security clearance granted to the individuals if it was issued through their employment with a private entity.

The decision comes as Blinken, Sullivan, and Monaco are recognized for having held key national security positions in prior administrations, including as Secretary of State, National Security Adviser, and Deputy Attorney General, respectively.
