Washington: US President Donald Trump made Good Friday on a threat to revoke the security preparations for his predecessor Joe Biden and several senior former white house and national security officials.

The list of names that were deprived of their permission to see state secrets included the bite, his family members and former vice president and Trump’s presidency Kamala Harris.

Former Secretary of State and defeated presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was on the list along with the bite’s secretary of State Antony Blink and national security adviser Jacob Sullivan.

In a memorandum for agency managers and distributed by the White House Communications Office, Trump said the named officials no longer had to access classified material.

“I hereby conduct any executive department and the agency leader … to revoke any active safety preparations contained by the aforementioned persons,” Trump said.

“I also direct all the executive department and agency manager to revoke undeveloped access to secure US government facilities from these individuals.”

Former US presidents and national security officials traditionally retain a security ready as courtesy, and some find it useful to seek employment from private contractors.

But Trump, who continues to false claiming that Biden was planning to steal the 2020 election, which he lost has been furious with his predecessor and often tilted out.

Trump himself was investigated for violation of security rules in the period between his first and second periods in office by storing classified documents in the White House in his Mar-A-Lago resort.

The investigation was conducted after Trump returned to the office.

Many of the individuals on Trump’s list were high-profile political appointments of his democratic predecessor, but former Republican legislator and vocal Trump critic Liz Cheney is also named.

Fiona Hill, a British-born intelligence analyst who served under both Democratic and Republican administrations, including as an advisor in Trump’s White House, is targeted.

Together with former colleague Alexander Vindman, she gets a Kiev-born retired senior officer in the US Army who fell over Trump after expressing concern for contacts in the White House with Russia.
