Trump Administration Revokes Security Clearances of 37 Officials | JQJO

The Trump administration revoked the security clearances of 37 current and former national security officials, citing "politicization of intelligence" and other unspecified misconduct. The memo from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard lacked evidence. Many targeted officials served years ago, some working on matters infuriating Trump, like the Russia interference assessment. Critics call this a chilling of dissenting voices and a misuse of power, while Gabbard defended the action as upholding constitutional oaths. This follows other Trump administration efforts to revisit the Russia interference investigation and target perceived adversaries.
