President Donald Trump has officially revoked the security clearances of multiple high-profile Democratic figures, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and former Secretary of State Antony Blinken. This decision also bans them from entering any federal buildings, citing their alleged role in weaponizing the legal system against him.
Who Lost Their Security Clearance?
The following eight individuals have reportedly been stripped of their security privileges:
- Alvin Bragg – Manhattan District Attorney
- Letitia James – New York Attorney General
- Antony Blinken – Former Secretary of State
- Jake Sullivan – Former National Security Advisor
- Lisa Monaco – Former Deputy Attorney General
- Andrew Weissmann – Former DOJ official and Mueller prosecutor
- Mark Zaid – Attorney involved in high-profile whistleblower cases
- Norm Eisen – Former White House ethics lawyer
Why Did Trump Take This Action?
According to sources, Trump made this decision in response to what he calls “lawfare”—the use of legal institutions as a weapon to interfere in elections and target political opponents. He has frequently accused figures like James and Bragg of leading politically motivated investigations against him, particularly regarding business dealings and alleged criminal activity.
His supporters view this as a necessary step to hold those accountable who have allegedly abused their power, while critics claim it’s a direct attack on the rule of law and democratic institutions.
With the 2024 election on the horizon, this move is sure to fuel even more political division. Trump’s base sees it as a sign of strength, showing he’s willing to take action against those who have targeted him. On the other hand, his opponents are calling it an unprecedented use of presidential power to silence critics.
