HERE\u2019S WHY TRUMP PULLED JOHN BRENNAN\u2019S SECURITY CLEARANCE<\/h1>\n

President Donald Trump revoked former CIA Director John Brennan\u2019s security clearance Wednesday, citing Brennan\u2019s repeated public appearances attacking him and past behavior while in office in a lengthy statement.<\/p>\n

Trump noted that the extension of security clearance to Brennan and other former officials was a courtesy and so that they could be consulted by current government officials for their expertise. The President however noted that \u201cany benefits that senior officials might glean from consultations with Mr. Brennan are now outweighed by the risks posed by his erratic conduct and behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump cited Brennan\u2019s past misstatements to Congress in 2014 about accessing congressional staffers emails and his discussion of the Steele dossier\u2019s role in assessing Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The president took particular issue with Brennan\u2019s status as a TV pundit who has been one of the most outspoken officials against his tenure, frequently calling him unfit for office. \u201cMr. Brennan has recently leveraged his status as a former high-ranking official with access to highly sensitive information to make a series of unfounded and outrageous allegations \u2013 wild outbursts on the internet and television \u2014 about this administration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump finally justified Brennan\u2019s revoked security clearance noting that \u201csuch access is particularly inappropriate when former officials have transitioned into highly partisan positions and seek to use real or perceived access to sensitive information to validate their political attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n
