US President Donald Trump has revoked Joe Biden’s security clearance, cutting off his access to classified intelligence. Trump justified this move by pointing to a 2024 report that questioned Biden’s memory and mental sharpness. He also reminded people that Biden had denied him intelligence briefings in 2021, calling him a security risk. While former presidents usually get access to some intelligence updates, it’s not a legal right—it’s up to whoever is in office. In another bold move, Trump also stripped security clearances from more than four dozen former intelligence officials, accusing them of helping Biden in the 2020 election. Critics say this is just political revenge, while Trump’s supporters argue he’s just protecting national security.
