In a startling move, U.S. National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard revealed Monday that President Donald Trump has ordered the revocation of security clearances for several key officials from the previous Joe Biden administration. The affected individuals include notable figures such as former Secretary of State Antony Blinken and former national security adviser Jake Sullivan.

Also included on this controversial list are New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Both prosecutors had previously taken legal action against Trump, sparking accusations of political retaliation.

Furthermore, Gabbard confirmed via social media that the President's Daily Brief, a critical document for national security, is no longer being provided to former President Joe Biden. This development marks a significant shift in how former presidents engage with current intelligence.
