Trump revokes Brennan's security clearance

By Brett Samuels - 08/15/18 02:40 PM EDT

President Trump on Wednesday revoked the security clearance of former CIA 
Director John Brennan.

"As the head of the executive branch and the commander in chief, I have a 
unique constitutional responsibility to protect the nation's classified 
information, including by controlling access to it," Trump said in a statement, 
read by White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders at Wednesday's press 
briefing.

Trump also said he is still reviewing access to classified information for 
several former intelligence officials, including James Clapper, James Comey, 
Michael Hayden, Sally Yates, Susan Rice, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page 
and Bruce Ohr.
Each of those individuals has made statements critical of the president in the 
past.
