Trump says he is cutting off Biden's access to intelligence material
Former presidents are traditionally allowed to receive intelligence briefings if they are being consulted about events that occurred while they were in office.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump announced Friday that he was moving to “immediately” cut off former President Joe Biden’s access to intelligence information.
“There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information,” Trump wrote in a post to Truth Social. “Therefore, we are immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearances, and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings.”
Biden’s office did not immediately provide a comment Friday night.

Presidents do not have security clearances. Rather, the intelligence community operates to provide the president with material of all levels of classification.
