President's daily brief is no longer being provided to former President Biden, says Tulsi Gabbard

US National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard said Monday that President Donald Trump ordered security clearances to be revoked for some officials from the administration of former President Joe Biden.

Gabbard said on X that she also barred access to classified information for some officials, including former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, former National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, former Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, New York Attorney General Letitia James, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Mark Zaid, a national security lawyer who represented the whistleblower at the heart of the first Trump impeachment inquiry involving Ukraine, and attorneys Norman Eisen and Andrew Weissman, "along with the 51 signers of the Hunter Biden 'disinformation' letter."

"The President's Daily Brief is no longer being provided to former President Biden," she added.

Last month, Trump said he was revoking Biden's access to government secrets and ending the daily intelligence briefings.

"He set this precedent in 2021, when he instructed the Intelligence Community (IC) to stop the 45th President of the United States (ME!) from accessing details on National Security, a courtesy provided to former Presidents," Trump wrote.
