Aug. 19 National Security Director Tulsi Gabbard has revoked the security clearances for 37 current and former intelligence officials, as directed by President Donald Trump.
Gabbard acknowledged that the president directed her to revoke the security clearances in a social media post that she made on Tuesday afternoon.
« Being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege, not a right », Gabbard said.
« Those in the intelligence community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold », she added.
Gabbard’s post includes a copy of the department memorandum that was circulated on Monday and lists the 37 officials whose security clearances are revoked.
