Trump's decision to revoke security clearances for his political opponents is an alarming abuse of power. Revoking clearances for former officials involved in his impeachment trials, as well as those investigating him legally, appears to be blatant retaliation and an attempt to intimidate those who held him accountable. This petty act undermines national security by weaponizing clearances for personal vengeance. Clearances exist to protect classified information vital to our nation's interests, not as a political tool. Trump is jeopardizing that principle and our democratic norms. His inconsistent justifications for these revocations, citing legitimate national security concerns in some cases but overtly political motives in others, lays bare the reality that this is about punishing his critics. I urge you to forcefully condemn this disturbing overreach and defend the independence of those tasked with upholding the rule of law, free from presidential interference or retaliation. Enabling this behavior presents a dangerous precedent that could be exploited by future administrations against their political adversaries. Our nation's security apparatus must remain nonpartisan and immune to these corrosive abuses of power.
