US President Donald Trump revoked security clearances from his previously defeated Democratic election rivals, Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton, as well as a number of other former officials and critics.
Trump said in February he was revoking security clearance for his predecessor Joe Biden. His order confirmed that decision, adding that he was also revoking the security clearance of "any other member" of the Biden family.
"I have determined that it is no longer in the national interest for the following individuals to access classified information," Trump's memorandum read.
Former US presidents and top security officials usually keep their security clearance as a courtesy.
Trump ordered department and agency leaders to "revoke unescorted access to secure United States government facilities for these individuals."
