President Donald Trump on Wednesday revoked the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan, who has become a harsh critic of the president, and appeared to be targeting others who have disagreed with the administration.
āMr. Brennanās lying and recent conduct characterized by increasingly frenzied commentary is wholly inconsistent with access to the nationās most closely held secrets and facilities, the very aim of our adversaries which is to sow division and chaos,ā White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, reading a statement from Trump while briefing reporters on Wednesday.
āMr. Brennan has recently leveraged his status as a former high-ranking official with access to highly sensitive information to make a series of unfounded and outrageous allegations ā wild outbursts on the internet and television ā about this Administration,ā the presidentās statement continued.
In addition, Sanders said, the administration is evaluating clearances for former FBI Director James Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former National Security Agency Director Michael Hayden, former national security adviser Susan Rice, former FBI attorney Lisa Page, former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, former FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, whose security clearance was deactivated after he was fired earlier this year, and Bruce Ohr, who is still in the Justice Department although he was demoted from associate deputy attorney general.
āMore broadly, the issue of Mr. Brennanās security clearance raises larger questions about the practice of former officials maintaining access to our nationās most sensitive secrets long after their time in government has ended,ā Sanders said.
Brennan later responded on Twitter.
āThis action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech & punish critics,ā he wrote. āIt should gravely worry all Americans, including intelligence professionals, about the cost of speaking out. My principles are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent," he wrote.
While he's at it, I hope Omarosa gets her mouth washed out with soap... (at the very least)!!!
This is further proof of how petty Trump is, and that Trump is unfit to be president.
Yes. It's one thing being called a pig or a dog, but this is going beyond the pale and I hope he gets in trouble for it.
The man has demonstrated he is not to be trusted - Iām surprised the revocation of his security clearance took so long.
Trump wonāt be getting into any trouble over it, so get over yourself already. Lol.
