Rand Paul urges Trump to take immediate action against John Bolton, revoke his security clearance<\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

‘No one, especially not John Bolton…’<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) urged President Donald Trump on Saturday to immediately rescind John Bolton’s security clearance.<\/p>\n

As Trump’s former national security adviser, Bolton holds a top security clearance, meaning he is privy to extremely sensitive intelligence that only a small number of senior-level government officials have authorization to see, hear, or access.<\/p>\n

But Paul wants that privilege revoked.<\/p>\n

“No one, especially not John Bolton, should be able to use their security clearance for profit! I say revoke his clearance now \u2066@realDonaldTrump\u2069,” the Kentucky senator tweeted.<\/p>\n
