The list of individuals losing access to classified information includes former President Biden, members of his family, and former Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump’s opponent in the recent election. Also affected is former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, another past rival in the race for the White House, along with two senior officials from the Biden administration—former Secretary of State Antony Blinken and former National Security Advisor Jacob Sullivan.

According to the White House, those on the list will no longer have access to classified documents, their security clearances have been revoked, and they will no longer receive official escorts to US government facilities—privileges typically granted to former presidents and senior national security officials after leaving office.
