Retired Adm. William McRaven asks Trump to revoke his security clearance

William McRaven wrote an opinion piece for The Washington Post Thursday asking President Trump to revoke his security clearance in solidarity with former CIA director John Brennan, who had his security clearance revoked Wednesday. McRaven, a retired Navy admiral who served as commander of the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command from 2011 to 2014, oversaw the 2011 Navy SEAL raid in Pakistan that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

McRaven called Brennan “one of the finest public servants I have ever known,” saying “his honesty and character have never been in question, except by those who don’t know him.”
