Washington DC:
After Joe Biden, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, revoked the security authorizations of his Secretary of State Antony Blinken and former national security advisor Jake Sullivan, White House officials said on Saturday. The measure occurred a day after Trump revoked the security authorization of his predecessor Biden and stopped his access to daily intelligence information sessions.
In a new series of rapid fire power plays, the 78 -year -old billionaire also revoked security authorizations for the deputy attorney general of former President Biden, Lisa Monaco, who helped coordinate the response of the Department of Justice as of January 6, 2021, attacks against the Capitol of the United States, officials said.
The authorizations of the New York Attorney General Letitia James and the district prosecutor of Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, were also eliminated from Trump, the officials added.
‘Tit for Tat Move’
When revoking Biden’s security authorization, Trump said Friday: “There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information.”
“Therefore, we are immediately revoking the security authorizations of Joe Biden and stopping his daily intelligence reports,” he wrote about his real social network.
In a reference to the phrase of his former reality television reality show “The Apprentice”, Trump added in capitals: “Joe, you are fired.”
US presidents are traditionally given the right to receive intelligence reports even after they renounce.
Trump said he was making the movement because Democrat Biden had eliminated his own security authorization after winning the 2020 elections. At that time, Biden had cited Trump’s “erratic behavior” both before and after the attack of January 6 of 2021 against the United States Capitol for protesters trying to cancel Trump’s electoral loss.
In his publication on Friday, Trump said Biden “could not be trusted” with intelligence reports because the report of a special lawyer on the classified documents found in the Democrat’s house found that Biden, 82, suffered from “bad memory.”
Trump was also prosecuted for poor management of classified documents, but the Department of Justice ended the case after the Republican won the 2024 elections.
