Trump revokes Biden’s access to classified briefings

February 08, 2025

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he is revoking Former President Joe Biden’s access to classified information and daily intelligence briefings, citing concerns about Biden’s memory and potential national security risks.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump asserted that Biden “set this precedent” in 2021 when he barred Trump from receiving intelligence briefings traditionally provided to former presidents.

Trump also referenced the recent special counsel report on Biden’s handling of classified documents, which described the president as having a “poor memory.”

“There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information,” Trump wrote. “I will always protect our national security — JOE, YOU’RE FIRED.” — Agencies
