White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters that President Trump is targeting these officials' security clearances because they "have politicized and in some cases monetized their public service" and have made "baseless" claims about the president's relationship and contacts with the Russian government. The officials Sanders said are being examined are former CIA director John Brennan; former FBI director James B. Comey; former CIA director Michael V. Hayden; former national security adviser Susan E. Rice; former director of national intelligence James R. Clapper Jr.; and former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe. "The fact that people with security clearances are making these baseless charges provides inappropriate legitimacy to accusations with zero evidence," she said.
