US intelligence chief revokes Blinken and Sullivan’s access to classified information
US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has revoked access to classified information for former Secretary of State Antony Blinken and ex-National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, according to Gabbard’s X.
According to Gabbard, the decision was made in accordance with a directive from US President Donald Trump.
"I have revoked security clearances and barred access to classified information for Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and Andrew Weissman, along with the 51 signers of the Hunter Biden "disinformation" letter," she stated.
Revoking access to classified information
Previously, Reuters reported that security clearances were revoked for Jake Sullivan, Antony Blinken, and other former Biden administration officials.
Trump also stripped access for Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, who coordinated the Justice Department’s response to the January 6 Capitol attack, as well as New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, both of whom pursued legal cases against him.
Earlier, Trump revoked classified access for former President Joe Biden, citing concerns over his memory and ability to handle sensitive information.
Last month, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also revoked personal security and access to classified information for retired General Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
