  • President Donald Trump, in a late-night Friday memo, directed federal agencies to revoke security clearances for more than a dozen of his perceived political enemies, including former Vice President Kamala Harris and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's decision to revoke the security clearances of several high-profile political figures, including Vice President Kamala Harris, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and others like former FBI Director James Comey, former CIA Director John Brennan, and former National Security Advisor Susan Rice. This move was seen as a retaliatory action against his political adversaries. Trump's action was criticized by Democrats and some Republicans as an abuse of power, aimed at settling personal scores rather than serving national security interests. The revocation was part of a broader pattern where Trump had previously targeted security clearances of individuals who had either criticized him or were involved in investigations related to his administration. The article also mentions that this decision could potentially hinder the ability of these individuals to contribute to national security discussions and policy-making.
