Trump revokes security clearances of Alvin Bragg, Antony Blinken
Shortly after announcing he would be "immediately revoking" Joe Biden's security clearance and pulling his access to daily intelligence briefings, Trump is revoking the security clearances for other people he does not "respect."
According to Breitbart, President Donald Trump is now "revoking the security clearances of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to a recent report."
Trump recently gave an interview to the New York Post, in which he revealed that Bragg, Blinken, and James would no longer have access to federal buildings.
It's a follow-up to Trump removing Biden's security clearance. Joe Biden has "no need" to "continue receiving access to classified information," Trump explained.
Donald feels the same way about Blinken, Bragg, and James.
"This is to take away every right they have [revoking security clearances] including they can’t go into [federal] buildings," Trump said.

The New York Post commented that stripping Alvin Bragg and Letitia James of their security clearances "could hamper them in carrying out their official duties by prohibiting them" from entering courthouses:
But it could hamper them in carrying out their official duties by prohibiting them from entering courthouses, prisons, and law enforcement facilities in Foley Square in lower Manhattan, including the Thurgood Marshall and Daniel Patrick Moynihan courthouses, the Metropolitan Correctional Center, and the Jacob Javits Federal Building which houses the FBI’s New York field office.
They also will not be able to set foot in the US Attorney’s offices for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Robert Costello, the former lawyer of Michael Cohen, said that stripping these people's security clearances was "more an insult and a slap in the face than a real deterrent."
It's not surprising that Donald Trump is happy to publicly humiliate these individuals.
These are people who Donald Trump thinks were part of the "witch hunt" that was designed to put him in prison instead of the White House.
Luckily, Donald Trump beat those cases, and he beat Kamala Harris.
Now, it's Trump's turn to make the decisions.
