Trump banned sharing classified material with Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris
Earlier, Trump blocked access for White House chief of staff Joe Biden to intelligence material provided to former US presidents relating to their cadences.
US President Donald Trump has cancelled access to classified material for a number of political figures, including his election rivals Hillary Clinton and former Vice President Kamala Harris. The ban was announced in a memo released on 21 March on the White House website.
According to Trump, access to classified material for Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris and at least 12 other influential figures is no longer in the "national interest."
He previously barred former Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and former National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan from sharing classified information.
I am ordering the heads of all executive departments and agencies to take the necessary steps under the law to revoke all current security clearances for these individuals and immediately terminate their access to such information. I also order that these individuals be barred from unescorted access to secure US government facilities," Trump said in a statement.
He specified that in case any of these individuals received a security clearance in connection with their work for a private company, "the U.S. government agency that granted the clearance must inform the private company that their access to classified information has been cancelled."
