As part of the lightning-quick reshaping of the federal government (or at least, the executive branch) undertaken in his second administration, President Donald Trump has made a point of stripping security clearances from former government officials and their cohorts — namely those who had a hand in weaponizing the government against him and others.
For starters, he yanked the security clearances from the 51 “spies who lied” about the Hunter Biden laptop. Then came General Mark Milley (who got to pair his yanked clearance with his preemptive pardon from former President Joe Biden). Then came Biden himself.
