Trump Weighs Revoking Security Clearances for Comey, Brennan

President Donald Trump is considering revoking the security clearances of former FBI Director James Comey, former CIA Director John Brennan and other former Obama administration national security officials who have criticized him, Bloomberg News reports.
 

The president is “exploring the mechanism” to remove their access to classified information because of criticism the officials have leveled against his conduct of relations with Russia, said White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders.

“They’ve politicized and in some cases monetized their public service and security clearances, making baseless accusations of improper contact with Russia or being influenced by Russia against the president is extremely inappropriate,” Sanders said.
