# US president Donald Trump has revoked security clearances for his predecessor, Joe Biden, former vice president Kamala Harris, and several former officials, including former ministers Hillary Clinton and Antony Blinken. The executive order targets political opponents who traditionally retain clearance as a courtesy. Trump, who still claims the 2020 election was stolen, ordered agencies to block their access to classified material and government facilities. Critics see this as political retaliation, while Trump defends it as a national security move.
