Trump also revoked security clearances for Biden’s Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, who helped coordinate the Department of Justice’s response to the January 6, 2021, attacks on the US Capitol, the officials say.
He also removed the clearances of New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who led cases against Trump, the officials say.
