President Donald Trump has no shortage of opponents in Washington, including some former members of his own political party.

Last week saw the president strike back at some of them when he abruptly ended their security clearances. 

Revocation applies to more than 15 people

According to Fox News, Trump released a memo on Friday in which he detailed a slew of former and currently public officials.

"I have determined that it is no longer in the national interest for the following individuals to access classified information," he wrote.

The individuals in question were "Antony Blinken, Jacob Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Andrew Weissmann, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Cheney, Kamala Harris, Adam Kinzinger, Fiona Hill, Alexander Vindman, Joseph R. Biden Jr., and any other member of Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s family."

Fox News noted that the aforementioned figures will also no longer have "unescorted access to secure United States Government facilities."

Security clearances stripped from authors of Hunter Biden laptop letter

That decision came almost a week and a half after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said that she had stripped security clearances from many of the same people named in the memo.

Per @POTUS directive, I have revoked security clearances and barred access to classified information for Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and Andrew Weissman, along with the 51 signers of the Hunter Biden…

She also included the 51 intelligence officials who signed an open letter in 2020 which alleged that Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop bore "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."

Biden's laptop, which contained extensive evidence of sexual impropriety and criminal wrongdoing, was eventually authenticated by mainstream media outlets long after the 2020 election.

What's more, Gabbard went on to assert that former President Joe Biden would no longer be provided with a copy of the President's Daily Brief.

Move met with cheers from some conservatives

Gabbard's revelation was met with praise from conservative social media users, with one person calling the move "extremely important" as "security clearances are a HUGE source of profit and revenue for these corrupt officials."

"Take away their access. Take away their ability to leak information. Take away their financial ammunition," he continued.

The X user went on to express hope that revoking security clearances "is just the start of some much-needed and overdue accountability."
