Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced Monday that the security clearances of 51 intelligence officers who signed a letter portraying Hunter Biden’s laptop as ‘Russian disinformation’ have been officially revoked.
Gabbard, one of several strong, intelligent women with a significant role in President Trump’s cabinet, delivered the bad news to some high-profile members of the intelligence community.
Names such as former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Directors Mike Hayden, John Brennan, and Leon Panetta, and former National Security Advisor John Bolton signed on to the letter. And by doing so, they eventually signed onto their own security clearance revocation.
Gabbard further ripped clearances from former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, New York Attorney General and rabid anti-Trump advocate Letitia James, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Rounding out the delicious declaration on X is a note from Gabbard that former President Joe Biden is no longer privy to his Daily Brief.
“Per [President Trump’s] directive, I have revoked security clearances and barred access to classified information for Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and Andrew Weissman, along with the 51 signers of the Hunter Biden ‘disinformation’ letter,” Gabbard announced.
“The President’s Daily Brief is no longer being provided to former President Biden.”

Consequences at Last: Trump Ready to Pay Back 51 ‘Former Intelligence Officers’ Who Misled America
Trump Rips Security Clearances From the 51 Spies Who Lied, Then Hit Them With Another Bombshell
The directive Gabbard is referencing is an executive order signed by President Trump on his first day in office that finally held the intel community responsible for spreading the Hunter Biden laptop/Russian disinformation hoax.
The order demanded that the DNI submit an assessment within the report, providing recommendations to prevent intelligence officials from “inappropriately influencing domestic elections” in the future.
As they did in 2020.
It also seeks recommendations for “any disciplinary action … that should be taken against anyone who engaged in inappropriate conduct related to the letter signed by the 51 former intelligence officials.”
Clapper, years after signing the letter, tried claiming the letter had been taken out of context and “distorted.”
“There was message distortion,” Clapper told the Washington Post. “All we were doing was raising a yellow flag that this could be Russian disinformation.”
Douglas Wise, a former senior CIA operations officer whose clearance is no more, later admitted that he and others knew the contents of Hunter’s laptop “had to be real” but they chose to sign on anyway.
“All of us figured that a significant portion of that content had to be real to make any Russian disinformation credible,” Wise acknowledged during an interview with The Australian.
As for Biden having his access to the Daily Brief – top-secret intelligence information – ripped away, well, we’re pretty sure even when he was in the White House he wasn’t cognizant of those briefs anyway. He’s not going to miss anything.
Gabbard made news late last month when she revoked the security clearances, and terminated the employment of over 100 individuals involved in a National Security Agency chat system that was used to discuss pornographic LGBT matters.
