Trump revokes security clearance of ex-CIA director John Brennan

The former CIA chief has been an outspoken critic of the president and the White House has indicated it is considering similar action against other opponents of the administration.

US President Donald Trump has revoked the security clearance of former CIA director John Brennan, a staunch opponent of Trump’s administration, alleging he made contradictory and erroneous testimony before Congress.

Now, the White House has indicated other Trump critics may soon face similar action.

The clearances of eight other administration critics are also in jeopardy, as well as one current Department of Justice official’s.
