Featured Coverage of this Story
Politico
President Donald Trump on Wednesday revoked the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan, who has become a harsh critic of the president, and appeared to be targeting others who have disagreed with the administration.
Washington Examiner
John Brennan has made some very ill-advised comments in recent months, but President Trump should not have suspended the former CIA director's security clearance. Allowing his understandable offense at Brennan's frequent and ferocious criticisms to drive his policy decisions, Trump has put his ego before the national interest.
The Hill
President Trump in an interview attributed his decision to revoke ex-CIA Director John Brennan's security clearance to his role in early stages of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
