Cheney Says Greene Should Lose Security Clearance

April 14, 2023 at 12:57 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Former Rep. Liz Cheney said that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene should not have a security clearance after Greene defended the Air National Guardsman suspected of leaking a trove of classified documents, NBC News reports.

Said Cheney: “Marjorie Taylor Greene makes clear yet again that she cannot be trusted with America’s national security information and should not have a security clearance of any kind.”
