ODNI Decision: Revocation of Security Clearances
Policy Document | August 19, 2025
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) revoked the security clearances of multiple individuals, claiming that certain of them had engaged in weaponization, politicization, or other misconduct. Many of the individuals listed had publicly criticized Trump, testified against him, or litigated against him or his administration. The Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, publicly posted the memo on the website X, including the names of the "37 current and former intelligence professionals" from whom security clearances were stripped.
