Democrats seek information on Trump administration’s security clearance revocations
September 8, 2025
Democratic lawmakers on the House Intelligence Committee are asking questions about what led the Trump administration to revoke the security clearances of 37 current and former officials. In a letter to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, the lawmakers say they’re concerned the mass revocations signal either a problem with security vetting, or suggest the administration is politicizing the process. Gabbard says the 37 people all either mishandled classified information, failed to adhere to professional standards, or sought to use intelligence in pursuit of political ends. The letter sent Monday from the Democratic lawmakers seeks responses by Sept. 19.
