Some had been critical of Trump, while others were involved in investigating Russian meddling in the 2020 US elections.
The administration of United States President Donald Trump has revoked the security clearances of 37 people it accused of politicising or weaponising intelligence for partisan aims.
In a statement posted to X on Tuesday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said the group had “abused the public trust”, accusing them of “politicizing and manipulating intelligence, leaking classified intelligence without authorization, and/or committing intentional egregious violations of tradecraft standards”.
The statement did not explain in what ways the 37 had violated the terms of the national security clearance or provide evidence of them having done so.
Security clearances are rarely revoked, and the names of those revoked are not typically publicised.
