Therefore, we are immediately revoking Joe Biden\u2019s Security Clearances, and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings,\u201d Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The president\u2019s move was payback for when Biden pulled Trump\u2019s security clearance in the wake of the January 6 attack on the Capitol: \u201cHe set this precedent in 2021,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>The revocation was the latest in a campaign of retribution from Trump, which began hours after he was sworn in a second time. He has already revoked the security clearance and protective detail for John Bolton, his former national security adviser who has become one his harshest critics.<\/p>\n<p>He cancelled protection for Anthony Fauci, the immunologist who spearheaded the country\u2019s response to the Covid-19 pandemic, and for former secretary of state Mike Pompeo.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s secret service protection is still in place.<\/p>\n<p>Trump campaigned on promises to go after his political enemies in government, with his vendetta extending to the intelligence community and law enforcement. Earlier this week, FBI agents sued the Trump administration to prevent it from publicly naming staff involved in a probe into the January 6 Capitol attack in 2021, which sought to overturn the results of the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNever again will the immense power of the state be weaponised to persecute political opponents,\u201d he said in his second inaugural address.<\/p>\n<p>On his first night in office, he signed an executive order on the \u201cweaponisation\u201d of government, authorising sweeping reviews of US intelligence and other agencies to rectify \u201cpast misconduct\u201d through \u201cappropriate action\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>For taking away Biden\u2019s clearance, Trump cited the politically damaging 2024 report by Robert Hur, the justice department special counsel who said Biden was a \u201cwell-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Hur Report revealed that Biden suffers from \u2018poor memory\u2019 and, even in his \u2018prime,\u2019 could not be trusted with sensitive information,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI will always protect our National Security \u2014 JOE, YOU\u2019RE FIRED. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a courtesy, former presidents traditionally continue receiving daily intelligence briefings, which can include classified information.<\/p>\n<p>There was no
