US President Donald Trump has taken away security clearances for former Vice President Kamala Harris, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others in his latest move against his Democratic opponents.

The Republican president, who has also revoked the security clearance for former President Joe Biden, defeated Ms Clinton in the 2016 presidential election and Ms Harris in last year’s election.

Clinton hasn’t held or run for office in almost 10 years, not sure what she would deserve clearance for.

Sometimes, past administration officials give advice or help. Only those with clearance can be consulted. Trump would never seek their help but other officials or unelected workers might. However, that can’t any longer.

If she is contracting/consulting. That being said she has some history of mishandling classified emails so hers is justifiable. The rest not so much.

Biden is in no fit state to be handed classified intelligence.
