Trump Denies He Considered Revoking Obama Clearance

President Trump denied a report that he had considered restricting former President Obama’s access to intelligence briefings, calling that an extraordinary step that he “never discussed or thought of,” the Washington Post reports.

”The New Yorker reported Monday that then-national security adviser H.R. McMaster had talked Trump out of the idea, which some White House officials were pushing last year in the wake of Trump’s assertion, without evidence, that Obama had ordered wiretapping of Trump Tower during the 2016 election campaign.”
