Hillary Clinton, Alexander Vindman and former Secretary of State Antony Blinken are among a group of more than a dozen figures who have been blocked from accessing classified U.S. government information, following a sweeping directive from President Donald Trump.
The presidential order applies to a wide range of political opponents, former Biden administration officials, impeachment witnesses and high-profile prosecutors. The directive bars them from both reviewing classified materials and entering secure government facilities without supervision.
Donald Trump has officially stripped Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris of their security clearances.
Both have now been cut off from access to classified government information.
Neither will be authorized to handle sensitive materials moving forward. pic.twitter.com/QCghefuikO

In addition to Clinton, the list includes Vice President Kamala Harris, President Joe Biden, Liz Cheney, Fiona Hill, Jake Sullivan, Lisa Monaco and members of the Biden family. The order also targets Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Andrew Weissman, Alvin Bragg and Letitia James.
Look who lost their security clearance. Even Hillary is on that list. pic.twitter.com/TAJq4zPdEx

Trump’s directive instructs all executive departments to take immediate steps to revoke clearances and access rights. Agencies are also told to notify any private employers if an individual listed held classified access through non-government work.
I really can't explain how relieved that makes me feel that President Trump pulled the security clearance from Hillary & Kamala. They both sold out Americans & women, in this US Vet's opinion.🙏🥳🙏

Tulsi Gabbard, the current Director of National Intelligence, had already taken similar action earlier this month. She revoked access from Blinken, Sullivan, Monaco, Bragg, Weissman, Eisen and James, as well as the 51 individuals who signed the 2020 Hunter Biden laptop letter.
Trump’s memo indicates that this order also cancels any right to receive routine intelligence briefings — including the President’s Daily Brief — that were once shared with officials after leaving office. The administration is making clear that those privileges are now being revoked based on current risk assessments.
Trump also barred security access for Perkins Coie and Paul Weiss, two law firms previously involved in matters concerning his legal and political battles. Paul Weiss agreed to a resolution with the administration while Perkins Coie has responded with litigation.
