Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard, acting under the direction of President Donald Trump, has revoked the security clearances of 37 current and former U.S. intelligence officials. The move targets individuals involved in the investigation and promotion of the Trump-Russia collusion allegations, often referred to as the Russia Collusion Hoax. Among those affected is former DNI James Clapper and his aides, as well as officials linked to the 2017 assessment of Russian interference in the U.S. elections. Gabbard accused the individuals of politicizing and manipulating intelligence, leaking classified information, and abusing public trust by weaponizing intelligence for personal or partisan gain. The list includes former Biden intelligence chief Maher Bitar, who played a role in President Trump's 2020 impeachment. This action is part of a broader campaign by the Trump administration to hold accountable those it views as having undermined the Constitution and democracy through intelligence misconduct. Additionally, Gabbard issued a directive prohibiting U.S. intelligence agencies from sharing information about Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations with allied intelligence partners, mandating classification of related materials. The revocation of these clearances marks a continuation of efforts to address what the administration describes as politicization within the intelligence community.
