Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard confirmed she has officially revoked the security clearances of multiple former high-ranking officials following a directive from President Donald Trump, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.
The move follows Trump's March announcement that several individuals from the Biden and Obama administrations would no longer retain access to classified information.
In a written statement, President Trump declared:
Here's What They're Not Telling You About Your Retirement
“I have determined that it is no longer in the national interest for the following individuals to access classified information.”
The list includes former President Joe Biden, former Vice President Kamala Harris, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, among others.
The full list of those whose clearances have been rescinded includes:
Joe Biden, former President

Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State
Antony Blinken, former Secretary of State
Jake Sullivan, former National Security Adviser
Lisa Monaco, former Deputy Attorney General
Mark Zaid, attorney
Norman Eisen, attorney and Brookings Institution fellow
Letitia James, New York Attorney General
Alvin Bragg, Manhattan District Attorney
Andrew Weissmann, former federal prosecutor
Elizabeth Cheney, former Representative (R-WY)
Adam Kinzinger, former Representative (R-IL)
Fiona Hill, former National Security Council Russia expert
Alexander Vindman, retired Army lieutenant colonel
Any other member of the Biden family
President Trump’s directive ordered all executive departments and agency heads to “take all additional action as necessary and consistent with existing law to revoke any active security clearances held by the aforementioned individuals and to immediately rescind their access to classified information.”
Following the directive, Gabbard posted the following on X:
“Per @POTUS directive, I have revoked former President Joe Biden’s security clearance, and revoked clearances and access to classified information for Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Fiona Hill, and Alexander Vindman.”

Gabbard appeared on The Megyn Kelly Show to discuss the action. During the interview, Kelly asked Gabbard how it felt to strip Hillary Clinton of her clearance. “That must have been a little fun,” Kelly said.
“I smiled,” Gabbard responded, laughing.
“You’re only human,” Kelly replied.
The revocations follow President Trump’s broader campaign promise to hold accountable officials from prior administrations who he says misused intelligence and participated in partisan investigations.
The move has been widely discussed on social media and political programs across conservative media.
