WILLIAM MCRAVEN<\/strong>. Retired Navy admiral who oversaw Bin Laden raid tells Trump to revoke his security clearance<\/a>: \u201cFormer CIA director John Brennan, whose security clearance you\u00a0revoked<\/a>\u00a0on Wednesday, is one of the finest public servants I have ever known. Few Americans have done more to protect this country than John. He is a man<\/a> of unparalleled integrity, whose honesty and character have never been in question, except by those who don\u2019t know him. Therefore, I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men<\/a> and women<\/a> who have spoken up against your presidency. Like most Americans, I had hoped that when you became president, you would rise to the occasion and become the leader this great nation needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
