U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Tuesday announced the revocation of security clearances for 37 current and former intelligence community officials for allegedly “politicizing and manipulating intelligence.”

“Being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege, not a right. Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold,” Gabbard said in a post on X.
