President Donald Trump on Friday ordered the immediate revocation of security clearances for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Antony Blinken, Hillary Clinton, Liz Cheney, Jake Sullivan, and every member of the Biden family. The move marks a seismic shift in national security access for former high-ranking officials and sends a clear message that the era of political insiders retaining classified privileges is over.
“I hereby direct every executive department and agency head to take all additional action as necessary and consistent with existing law to revoke any active security clearances held by the aforementioned individuals and to immediately rescind their access to classified information,” Trump declared. “I also direct all executive department and agency heads to revoke unescorted access to secure United States Government facilities from these individuals.”
While Trump’s decision has sparked outrage among Democrats, CNN analyst Scott Jennings did not hesitate to back the move, particularly when it came to the Bidens. Speaking on Laura Coates Live Friday night, Jennings pointed to the Biden family’s history of influence peddling, foreign entanglements, and questionable dealings as justification for stripping them of any access to classified material.
“Given the family’s long history of influence peddling and dealings with shady people overseas, I think cutting them off from national security information is frankly a pretty good idea,” Jennings said bluntly.
He further blasted top Democrats for “abusing their adjacency to national security information for political purposes,” calling out the now-infamous Hunter Biden laptop letter, in which 51 intelligence officials falsely labeled the laptop as Russian disinformation just weeks before the 2020 election.
“Donald Trump is sending a strong message,” Jennings asserted. “No longer are people like this who float in and out of government going to be able to abuse their national security access for political purposes.”
The announcement sent shockwaves through Washington, with Democrats accusing Trump of pure political vengeance.
“This is nothing but an authoritarian purge,” one Democratic operative fumed. “Trump is weaponizing security clearances against his political enemies in a way we’ve never seen before.”
But Trump allies see it differently, calling the move a long-overdue correction to the unchecked privileges granted to political elites.
“Let’s not forget,” Jennings reminded viewers, “Democrats did this to Trump in 2021. What goes around comes around.”

It’s 100% true that Trump is motivated by personally vengeance. But we the people agree with the policies, because they are appropriate. So let’s not check his tzitzis foe kashrus, and let him get the job done, no matter the motivation.
