Trump tells Biden ‘you’re fired’ as he halts ex-president’s access to classified information as payback after Jan 6

PRESIDENT Donald Trump has told Joe Biden "YOU'RE FIRED" after halting his access to daily intelligence briefings as revenge for the ex-president doing the same to him four years prior. Trump slammed the Democrat bumbler on his Truth Social platform, saying there was "no need" for him to "continue receiving access to classified information". Don added his notorious Apprentice catchphrase "JOE, YOU'RE FIRED" to the post before signing it up with his "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" slogan.

The Republican already revoked the security clearance of over four dozen former intelligence officials whom he accused of fiddling with the 2020 election which he branded the "greatest fraud in US history",. He posted on Friday evening that the Democrat blunderer "set this precedent in 2021, when he instructed the Intelligence Community (IC) to stop the 45th President of the United States (ME!) from accessing details on National Security, a courtesy provided to former Presidents.".

Biden barred Trump from receiving intelligence briefings that are usually given to former presidents, justifying his actions by claiming Trump's behavior before the Capital attack was concerning. The precedent set by the Democrat means Trump can too stop his predecessor's access to daily intelligence briefings. But Trump also says he wants to revoke Biden's security clearance. The Republican added that he "could not be trusted with sensitive information," pointing to a justice department inquiry into Biden's storage of classified files from his time as Barack Obama’s vice-president.

A special counsel report by Robert Hur at the time declared Biden “wilfully retained and disclosed classified materials" but declined to charge him with a crime. The investigation said the ex-president was unable to recall significant life events such as the dates he served as VP, and the year his son Beau died. Explaining the lack of charges at the time, Mr Hur said: "At trial, Mr Biden would likely present himself to a jury as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.".
