Former CIA Director John Brennan, a vocal critic of President Trump, found out he had been blocked from accessing his classified notes and records while working on his new memoir.
The White House confirmed the directive was being enforced, which is news considering the New York Times reported in May of last year that the president never revoked Brennan's security clearance.
“The President has constitutional authority to control access to classified information, which he exercised here in view of Mr. Brennan’s erratic behavior and the President’s belief that access to classified information should be solely for the benefit of the government and the American people,” White House spokesman Judd Deere said.
Brennan, who acknowledges he is in the "crosshairs" of the criminal inquiry into the Russia investigation led by U.S. Attorney John Durham, claimed he asked the CIA for his official records including his personal notes and any classified CIA documents that he had signed, but the agency denied his request.

Go Marlene! You got it all correct❗️👍🇺🇸‼️
Overdue. He's is a real threat to our country. How about Tapper??? Was his also curtailed?
ABOUT TIME. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
HE NEEDS TO BE IN PRISON W/OBAMA AND THE REST. FOR LIFE
Our President is just doing what he is supposed to do, and John Brennan should not have assumed he would have Carte Blanche forever. He should have kept his own notes like others would have done.
Read Marlenes note! Keeping personal notes on classified information is illegal and treasonous❗️
Depends on whether the notes are the lawful work product of one assigned to analyze or otherwise use the classified information or notes made for the purpose of illegally transferring classified information. All working notes become classified and are not the property of the individual they are state property and need to be turned in with all the classified material for archiving and proper storage.
What?! ⁉️.
🇺🇸 Did you see? I said keeping notes on classified info, ie, keeping them in ones own possession, is illegal? ‼️‼️‼️ 🇺🇸
That's pretty much what Marlene said. Which I concur.
Keeping notes under one's own security is illegal... notes as a result of lawful work products are TURNED IN with the Classified material and are stored and secured in accordance with the law. Working papers or notes are often generated when analyzing or working on classified projects... those notes are not personal they are government work product must be turned in not kept under one's personal custody.
All the above and more is true... yet, Hillary openly and magnanimously violates every security regulation I can think of... regulations, that would put the ordinary person in prison for LIFE and she doesn't even get a slap on the wrist. This is so over the top wrong... that AG Barr should be fired .. immediately if he can't or doesn't prosecute her. Pres. Trump needs to be held accountable for failing to have her drawn and quartered for her security violations... and if there is any evidence of foreign powers receiving or hacking her computer... she needs to be tried for treason.
