Trump revokes classified access for Blinken and Sullivan
Donald Trump has revoked access to classified information for Antony Blinken and Jake Sullivan, as confirmed by the Reuters agency.
U.S. President Donald Trump made the decision to revoke access to classified information for Antony Blinken, the former Secretary of State, and Jake Sullivan, the former National Security Advisor to the White House. This information was reported by Reuters.
Similar steps were taken by Trump the day before against his predecessor, Joe Biden, depriving him of access to classified information and daily intelligence briefings. It was a response to Biden's decision in 2021 when Trump was deprived of such privileges.
Trump also revoked access to classified information for Biden's Deputy Attorney General, Lisa Monaco. She was involved in coordinating the Justice Department's response to the attacks on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Further actions by Trump
Access to classified information was also revoked for the New York Attorney General, Letitia James, and the Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg. Both individuals were conducting cases against Trump.
