President Trump Revokes Security Clearances

- Former presidents and officials traditionally kept security clearances.
- Trump also denied access to Biden and other prominent politicians.

In 2021, Biden denied Trump access to intelligence briefings due to his 'erratic behavior.' Former presidents were previously briefed post-administration.
