Revoke security clearances . . .

. . . of people who criticize Trump's foreign policy?


Sen. Rand Paul called Monday for President Trump to revoke former CIA director John Brennan's security clearance, as he questioned whether the Obama-era spy boss was “monetizing” his access to sensitive information in his new role as a pundit.

"The President is exploring these mechanisms to remove security clearance because they've politicized and in some cases monetized their public service and their security clearances," Sanders said. "And making baseless accusations of an improper relationship with Russia is inappropriate."

Sanders would not say when the President would make this decision; she said only that the White House would provide updates when it had them.
A decision to strip a former official of a security clearance would prove a striking use of presidential power.
