U.S. President Donald Trump said he is revoking former President Joe Biden’s chance to obtain government secrets and ends the daily intelligence briefing he received.
Trump announced his decision in an article on his social media platform Friday, February 7, where he arrived at the weekend’s Mar-A-Lago Home and Private Club and held a private club in Palm Beach.
“Joe Biden does not need to continue receiving classified information. So we immediately revoke Joe Biden’s security permit and stop his daily intelligence briefings,” Trump wrote. “He put forward this precedent in 2021, when he directed the intelligence community (IC) to block the 45th U.S. President (ME!) from accessing details about national security, a courtesy to the former president.”
Trump listed Biden’s special adviser report handling confidential documents in his post, saying: “HUR report shows Biden suffers ‘bad memories’ even in his “Prime “We cannot trust sensitive information.”
He concluded the post, saying, “I will always protect our national security – Joe, you were fired. Make America great again!”
Trump had previously revoked security permits from more than 40 former intelligence officials, who signed a 2020 letter saying the Hunter Biden laptop Saga had the logo of “Russian Information Operation.” He also revoked security details allocated to protect former administration officials who criticized him, including his own former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who faces threats from Iran, and former infectious disease expert Anthony Ford, Anthony Fauci.
Biden did not immediately comment on the move.
Recall that Biden ended Trump’s intelligence briefing after Trump helped overturn the 2020 presidential election and incited an attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. At the time, Biden said Trump’s “unstable” behavior should prevent him from getting Intel’s briefing.
Biden was asked about his concerns when he was worried about whether he would continue to receive the briefing, saying he didn’t want to “speak out loud” but made it clear that he didn’t want Trump to continue visiting Such information.
“I just don’t think he needs to have an intelligence profile,” Biden said. “What value gives him an intelligence profile? What impact does he have other than what he might slip and say?”
In 2022, federal agents searched Trump’s Florida home and grabbed the box of confidential records. He was charged with dozens of felony charges, accusing him of illegally hoarding confidential records and obstructing the FBI’s efforts to get them back. He pleaded not guilty and denied illegal acts.
The judge dismissed the charges, ruling that their special lawyer was illegally appointed, and the Justice Department waived the appeal after Trump was elected in November.
