Revoke the clearances of former officials who speak to the press
What the document says“The President should immediately revoke the security clearances of any former Directors, Deputy Directors, or other senior intelligence officials who discuss their work in the press”
The full passage covers those who discuss their work in the press or on social media without prior clearance from the current Director. The chapter asks that agencies minimize their public presence and vigorously investigate leaks, and separately that former high-ranking officials who keep a clearance remain subject to the Hatch Act after leaving government.
