Donald Trump is granting security clearances to new White House officials before they have completed the vetting process, according to reports.

Priorities shift with every election cycle, but one remains constant: the demand for a more efficient government hiring process including security clearance eligibility and vetting.

In one of his first acts as president, Donald Trump has chosen to grant immediate Top Secret security clearances to several people, intended to amend a "backlog" created under the Biden administration.

The officials previously wrote a letter claiming that Hunter Biden's laptop had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."

President Donald Trump revoked the security clearances of 50 former US intelligence officials who had cast doubt on conservative attacks on former President Joe Biden’s son, delivering on a campaign promise to exact retribution against what he sees as a “deep state” conspiracy against him.

President-elect Donald Trump will suspend the security clearances for 51 national security officials that claimed Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation.
