His guide of what the United States election means 2024 for Washington and the world
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, revoked the security authorization of Joe Biden, preventing his predecessor from receiving daily intelligence reports while continuing a political revenge campaign throughout Washington.
“It is not necessary for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information. Therefore, we are immediately revoking the security authorizations of Joe Biden and stopping his daily intelligence reports, “Trump wrote on his Truth social platform on Friday.
The president’s movement was the recovery of when Biden took Trump’s security authorization following January 6 attack against the Capitol: “He established this precedent in 2021,” Trump said.
The revocation was the last in a Trump remuneration campaign, which began hours after he swore for the second time. He has already revoked security authorization and protective details for John Bolton, his former national security advisor who has become one of his toughest critics.
He canceled the protection of Anthony Fauci, the immunologist who headed the country’s response to the Covid-19 Pandemia, and for former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Biden’s secret service protection is still in place.
Trump campaigned in the promises to persecute his political enemies in the government, with his revenge extending to the intelligence community and the application of the law. Earlier this week, the FBI agents sued the Trump administration to prevent the staff from appointing the staff involved in an investigation into the attack of the Capitol of January 6 in 2021, which sought to revoke the results of the elections of the elections of 2020.
“Never again the immense power of the State will be armed to the persecuted political opponents,” he said in his second inaugural speech.
In his first night in office, he signed an executive order on government “weapons”, authorizing radical reviews of American intelligence and other agencies to rectify “past behavior” through “appropriate action.”
To eliminate Biden’s authorization, Trump cited the 2024 politically harmful report by Robert Hur, the special lawyer of the Department of Justice who said Biden was an “older and well -intentioned man with a bad memory.”
“The Hur report revealed that Biden suffers from” bad memory “and, even in his” cousin “, he could not trust confidential information,” Trump said. “I will always protect our national security: Joe, you are fired. Make the United States great again! “
As courtesy, former presidents traditionally continue to receive daily intelligence information sessions, which may include classified information.
There was no immediate Biden response.
