President Trump is considering removing security clearances belonging to former officials who served in high-level positions during the Obama administration.
Intelligence experts say such a move would be unprecedented.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Monday that the president is exploring the prospect of removing security clearances belonging to former CIA Director John Brennan and other former officials — all of whom have been highly critical of the president’s decisions on Russia.
The possibility of security revocations represents an effort by Trump to reprimand former officials whom the White House accuses of “politicizing” their public service by speaking out against the president.
