He likes to say Biden \u201ccan\u2019t be trusted,\u201d claiming the man set this precedent by pulling the plug on Trump\u2019s own briefings in 2021. That\u2019s a serious slap in the face to tradition, but honestly, are we surprised? This is the same White House that\u2019s been shaking up norms left and right. And of course, the phrase \u201cTrump removes Biden\u2019s security clearance\u201d hit the news cycle like wildfire.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Not Stopping at One Person<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Here\u2019s the kicker: Biden isn\u2019t the only one losing clearance. Trump also revoked privileges for several former intelligence officers and top-level staff, including General Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci. Some critics think it\u2019s all part of a personal vendetta. Others argue it\u2019s just standard practice once you\u2019re out of the administration. Either way, it\u2019s a reminder that nobody is safe in this political climate.
