Trump cuts Biden access to security briefings as payback

Published

President Donald Trump took steps Friday to bar his predecessor from accessing sensitive national security information with an order he readily admitted was payback.

Trump said former President Joe Biden would no longer receive classified intelligence briefings that were customary for former presidents — until Biden halted Trump’s access after the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol.

“There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “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 also cited special counsel Robert Hur’s 2024 report into Biden’s handling of classified documents in which he concluded that the president had a “poor memory” though criminal charges were not warranted.

“The Hur Report revealed that Biden suffers from ‘poor memory’ and, even in his ‘prime,’ could not be trusted with sensitive information. I will always protect our National Security — JOE, YOU’RE FIRED. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Biden, shortly after his inauguration, barred Trump from receiving the daily briefings, saying he could not be trusted because of his “erratic behavior” and because they were unnecessary.

A spokesperson for Biden had no immediate comment.
