President Donald Trump has ordered that the security clearances for former Secretary of State Antony Blinken and two top New York officials who targeting him in high-profile investigations be revoked, according to a report.
In an interview with the New York Post, Trump said he will order that Blinken, New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and New York Attorney General Letitia James all have their security clearances revoked as well as restricting their access to federal buildings.
“This is to take away every right they have [revoking security clearances] including they can’t go into [federal] buildings,” the president said.
Of Blinken specifically, Trump said, “Bad guy. Take away his passes.”
Blinken is not the only Biden administration official Trump is targeting in the order. The president listed former national security adviser Jake Sullivan and former Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco as two others whose security clearances he wants revoked.
The order follows Trump restricting former President Joe Biden’s access to classified information on Friday, saying he cannot “be trusted with sensitive information.”

“There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information. Therefore, we are immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearances, and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings,” the president posted on Truth Social.
Biden did the same to Trump shortly after he entered office in 2021.
