Trump pulls Biden’s security clearance, ending access to classified documents
“There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Therefore, we are immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearances, and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings.”

President Donald Trump on Friday evening announced he was pulling former President Joe Biden’s security clearance and ending his daily intelligence briefing, citing a precedent the former president set by ending Trump’s in 2021.
Trump announced the decision in a post on Truth Social, stating that the former president was now “fired.” He also cited a special counsel’s report from last year that questioned Biden’s age and mental competence but did not recommend any criminal charges.
“There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information,” Trump wrote. “Therefore, we are immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearances, and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings.
“He set this precedent in 2021, when he instructed the Intelligence Community (IC) to stop the 45th President of the United States (ME!) from accessing details on National Security, a courtesy provided to former Presidents,” he continued. “I will always protect our National Security — JOE, YOU’RE FIRED.”
Former presidents frequently have access to classified documents, and life-long Secret Service protection details.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
