President Donald Trump has revoked former President Joe Biden's security clearances and terminated his access to intelligence briefings, according to a statement released on Truth Social on Friday evening. The move is effective immediately and marks an unprecedented step, as it is the first time a sitting president has revoked the security clearance of a former president.

Trump cited concerns over Biden's memory and trustworthiness with sensitive information, referencing findings from the Hur Report that suggested Biden suffers from 'poor memory.' In his statement, Trump declared, 'There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information. Therefore, we are immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearances and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings.' He added, 'Joe, you’re fired!'

The revocation cuts off Biden from access to classified information typically provided to former presidents. The decision mirrors an action taken by Biden in 2021 when he revoked Trump's own security clearances.
