On their way out the door, the Biden administration has corrupted the DoD security clearance process to a level that’s never been seen. They have created a new bureaucracy that is judge, jury, and executioner for the security clearance process, severely reducing due process rights for service members and civilians.
The decision of the Biden admin tasks the same bureaucracy that is responsible for conducting clearance investigations and adjudications with also hearing appeals. That’s right, so instead of having an independent administrative law appeal/review under OGC, we are asking the bureaucracy to find fault in itself.
I’m calling on
@PeteHegseth
to immediately reverse this draconian change, which disadvantages service members and civilians alike, and return to the landmark reforms that received bipartisan support, which I instituted in January 2021 under
@realDonaldTrump
.
