Donald Trump says he will deny former president Joe Biden any access to classified information and courtesy briefings in an act of revenge against his predecessor.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said he was “immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearances and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings.” This followed a precedent Biden had set four years earlier when he instructed U.S. intelligence officials to halt any briefings with Trump, citing the then-former president’s “erratic behavior” after his 2020 election loss.
