Democrats seek information on Trump administration’s security clearance revocations
House Intelligence Committee Democrats allege political motives behind revocations and seek clarity on procedures affecting 37 officials' security clearances and national security impact.
- On Monday, Democratic members of the House Intelligence Committee inquired with the Trump administration about the rationale behind withdrawing security clearances from 37 national security personnel, both past and present.
- Democratic lawmakers, led by Rep. Jim Himes, requested detailed explanations for each clearance revocation and asked whether appropriate review protocols were followed, with a deadline for responses set for September 19.

- The inquiry suggests concern that the high number of revocations either indicates problems with vetting or the politicization of the security clearance process.
