US President Donald Trump made good Friday on a threat to revoke the security clearances of his predecessor Joe Biden, including Kamala Harris and several senior former White House and national security officials.
The list of names stripped of their authorisation to see state secrets included Biden, his family members, and former vice president and Trump presidential rival, Harris.
Former secretary of state and defeated presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was on the list, along with Biden’s secretary of state Antony Blinken and national security advisor Jacob Sullivan.
In a memorandum to agency heads and distributed by the White House communications office, Trump said the named officials should no longer be allowed access to classified material.
