37 people are accused of politicising or using intelligence to advance partisan agendas under the administration of US President Donald Trump’s administration’s revocation of security clearances.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard claimed the organization had “abused the public trust,” accusing them of “politicizing and manipulating intelligence, leaking classified intelligence without authorization, and/or committing intentional egregious violations of tradecraft standards” in a statement released to X on Tuesday.
The statement did not specify how the 37 had violated the national security clearance’s terms or provide evidence for doing so.
Rarely are security clearances revoked, and their names aren’t typically made public.
Former senior officials as well as lesser-known employees are included in the list. Shelby Pierson, an election security official, was one of the more well-known figures who, in February 2020, briefed lawmakers about Russian interference in US elections and drew Trump’s ire for claiming that Moscow favored him in the 2020 elections. Canary Mission, a dreckless pro-Israel website that the government has admitted using to target pro-Palestinian supporters, had at least one of the names listed in its database.
The revocations could be viewed as “unlawful and unconstitutional decisions that deviate from well-established, decades-old laws and policies that sought to protect against just this type of action,” according to Mark Zaid, a lawyer who represents intelligence officers.
The administration took actions against people in retaliatory ways that had an impact on their careers and lives without first letting them know before leaking the memo to friendly media is completely unprofessional yet so common.
Trump has kept his campaign promises since taking office, particularly those that he believes are corrupt, especially those who belong to other parties.
Real Madrid defeated a tenacious Osasuna 1-0 to begin their winning campaign in La Liga under new coach Xabi Alonso with Kylian Mbappe scoring from the penalty spot.
The French striker, who won the European Golden Shoe last season, was fouled by Osasuna defender Juan Cruz in the area that gave him the lead in the opening half of the second half on Tuesday.
Alonso’s first game in charge at the Santiago Bernabeu was enough to earn the points, leaving Real Madrid without a win in their opening game since 2008 in the league.
Alonso remarked, “It was special and unforgettable to be back here as a coach.” “Hopefully, this was our first victory,” he said.
The outcome was the first sign of the end. To continue moving forward, we still require some things that will give us stability.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen, Alvaro Carreras, and Alvaro Carreras, the other summer signings, made their La Liga debuts following their moves from Liverpool.
However, Madrid were without England international Jude Bellingham, who is scheduled to remain out until October as he recovers from a shoulder injury.

After renouncing both their domestic and European crowns last season, Madrid are hoping to turn the tables on a disappointing Carlo Ancelotti era.
Alonso’s side showed patience in the first half against an Osasuna team that finished ninth last term, with the hosts largely reliant on long-range efforts from Huijsen and Eder Militao.
Sergio Herrera, the Osasuna goalkeeper, was on par with both, while Mbappe struggled to connect cleanly after Vinicius Junior picked him up before curving a second shot wide as Madrid struggled to defeat their foes.
Six minutes after half-time, Mbappe fell after Cruz attempted to pass the defender with a clumsy challenge, but he was denied the only goal.
Mbappe, who scored 31 goals in his first season in Spain, proved ready for the new campaign when he fired the wrong way against Herrera.
Midway through the second half, Alonso gave Argentine teenager Franco Mastantuono his first start as Madrid’s dominant force and rarely appeared troubled.
Ante Budimir headed over in a eponymous situation for Mastantuono, but Herrera later turned down Mastantuono.
After her ex-husband, Alex Reid, shared footage of her waving and counting a wad of cash while she was bankrupt, former glamour model Katie Price has become a subject of controversy.
Alex Reid’s pals reveal the ‘final straw’ that made him ‘expose’ ex-wife Katie Price (Image: PA)
Alex Reid’s friends have shared the final straw in his long-running feud with Katie Price that made him ‘expose’ a video of her waving a wad of cash while bankrupt.
In the video, the former glamour model is seen lounging on the couch as she was “enjoying counting” the pile of money in front of her, saying: “There’s loads here.. I’m just sorting it out.”
Princess asked the 47-year-old actress, who had two debts totaling more than £3 million, if she would contribute to paying her daughter’s tuition and that of her ex-husband, Peter Andre, who is now the star’s second child. Before raising a middle finger, Price said, “Your dad can sit on that.”
Wearing white jodhpurs and sat next to a Christmas tree, she continued: “Does he go on about it a lot? Well it’s tough because I’m in bankruptcy to next May now.” It comes after Peter Andre’s wife Emily reacts to ‘cruel’ Katie Price swipe in the bombshell video.

Fans believe that Peter Andre received the property as part of their divorce settlement, which Katie also refers to as “my London flat.”
Reid, Price’s ex-girlfriend, shared the footage this week, saying in a statement that “the truth will now be heard.”

According to The Mirror, Price’s bankruptcy trustee continues to “seek realizations from various third parties” after receiving the one minute, 38-second video, which is thought to have been filmed in late 2020.
Katie Price is seen counting money in a video that Alex Reid exposed.
Now, a close friend of Alex’s has told The Sun that his final straw came when Katie defended herself amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Princess’ new show, The Princess Diaries, and the details of a custody battle between Katie and her ex-husband Peter Andre.
Peter’s claims that Princess and Junior have been in his care since 2018 have drawn the attention of Katie’s spokesperson, who responded by saying, “We’ve been in his custody for safety, since then, please.” Katie’s team at the time stated that Katie is “always in peace with the situation and has much better, clear headspace.”
She doesn’t feel the need to make tit-for-tat comments, but more importantly, she’s handling this properly and it’s now in her lawyers’ hands. Kate won’t continue to face bullying and gaslighted status as she once did.

Alex’s close friend said that this statement caused him to release the video of Katie counting the money.
The insider told The Sun that when Alex saw Peter’s statement last Thursday night, he wasn’t necessarily going to release his own damning takedown just days later, but a comment that Katie’s rep made that literally tipped Alex over the edge and started these wheels rolling.
The insider added that Alex was sent over the edge by the phrase “Katie is at peace”… Alex repeatedly said that “Katie is at peace,” and he was shocked because he most certainly is not at peace.
Out of everything Katie has said, those words “touched such a nerve for him because of how traumatized he has been since his marriage to her has never materialized.”

He continues to be a very vulnerable person because he hasn’t recovered from it. Not just him, but also his entire family and close friends have been affected by it. He thinks Katie is being completely ignored and doesn’t take any responsibility for washing her hands of material. “Selling she is at peace feels so dismissive, hypocritical, and ridiculous,” he says.
Katie made a statement of her own after the video’s release, explaining that the Mucky Mansion star wasn’t responsible for the money in the video.
The star’s representative stated that Katie fully cooperated with the Trustee’s inquiries into the video after it was shared with her in bankruptcy several months ago.
The property referred to in the financial settlement proceedings resulting from Katie’s divorce from Peter Andre was handled, and the cash featured did not belong to her.

The property is known to Katie’s bankruptcy trustee, who has undoubtedly looked into whether or not the same should be included in the bankruptcy estate.
The former glamour model was declared bankrupt twice, first in 2019 for debts totaling £3.5 million, including £970, 639 to HMRC, and then again in March for a second £761, 994 unpaid HMRC demands for money made while she was already bankrupt.
Alex Reid is owed £175, 000 in damages and costs from the High Court after she revealed a sex tape he claims was filmed without his knowledge.
Alex also stated in a statement that he was “leading a campaign to expose the truth” in addition to the leaked footage. He said, “Over the years, you have seen numerous stories written by Katie Price about me, Peter, Keiran, and others.” I want to be crystal-clear today. I’m launching a truth-exposing campaign.

“This is evidence rather than gossip,” he said. It’s about reality, not rumor. The time has finally come to reveal everything after years of silence.
Alex’s representatives have been contacted by The Mirror for comment on this story.

Claudia Sheinbaum, the president of Mexico, has refuted reports that her country is working with the US on a “major new initiative” to combat drug cartels.
Sheinbaum addressed the initiative, dubbed “Project Portero,” in her Tuesday morning news conference, which was marketed in the US as a “strengthen collaboration between the United States and Mexico.”
The initiative was only days before the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) made it public.
“I need to clarify something,” I ask. According to Sheinbaum, the DEA announced yesterday that a deal has been reached with the Mexican government regarding a Portero operation.
There isn’t anything in place with the DEA. Based on what we don’t know, the DEA makes this statement. None of the security organizations [has] reached an agreement with the DEA, and we have not done so.
Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico would only be able to make such an announcement through her administration, not individual government bodies.
She added that joint announcements must be made in accordance with established guidelines set forth by the DEA.
Project Portero is a part of a wider campaign by US President Donald Trump to stop cross-border drug trafficking and aggressively prosecute cartels and criminal networks that profit from this trade.
The DEA described Project Portero as its “flagship operation” in a statement released on Monday, aiming to stop the flow of illegal drugs along the border.
It referred to its collaboration with Mexico as “a multi-week training and collaboration program” that would bring Mexican investigators and US law enforcement personnel together at a southwest border intelligence facility.
According to the statement, they were trying to “identify joint targets” for the two nations.
DEA Administrator Terrance Cole said in the statement that “Project Portero and this new training program demonstrate how we will fight — by planning and working side by side with our Mexican partners.”
“This is a brave first step in a brand-new era of cross-border enforcement,” he said.
Sheinbaum continued, “No such bilateral action was planned,” despite her rumor that the DEA might be referring to a small training session involving four Mexican police officers.
She explained that the Secretariat of Citizen Security only has a group of police officers who were attending a workshop in Texas.
She did point out that her government was actively working with the Trump administration to ratify a border security treaty based on respectful cooperation and recognition of sovereignty.
Trump has repeatedly pressed the Sheinbaum government to stop the flow of immigrants and drugs across their shared borders since taking office for a second term in January.
That includes paying imports a tax that is threatened by tariffs. Trump made a statement in late July that he would continue imposing tariffs on Mexican goods for 90 days.
He had previously threatened to raise the tariff rate because fentanyl was still being marketed in the US.
In a letter to Sheinbaum earlier that month, Trump wrote that “Mexico still has not stopped the Cartels who are trying to turn the entire country into a narcotics-trafficking playground.”
Mexico still pays a 25-percent tax on all products that do not fall under the US-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement (USMCA), which Trump refers to as a “fentanyl tariff.”
Trump has still shown his affection for Sheinbaum, and since taking office in October of this year, he has largely avoided confrontations with Americans.
Sheinbaum’s government and Trump’s recently collaborated to bring 26 well-known drug-trafficking suspects to the US for prosecution.
Prior to Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on imports from her country, she reached a similar agreement in February, sending 29 alleged cartel leaders from Mexican prisons to the US. The largest prisoner transfer in recent memory from Mexico to the US.
Sheinbaum’s approach to Trump’s aggressive foreign policy platform has also drawn criticism.
For instance, the US State Department issued travel warnings for 30 of Mexico’s 32 states earlier this month, warning Americans of “terrorist” activities there.
Trump reportedly signed an order authorizing military action to combat them, as well as labeling several Latin American criminal organizations as “foreign terrorist organizations.”
Critics worry that the government’s desire for order could lead to a military invasion of Mexico. However, Sheinbaum has repeatedly dismissed those fears, saying, “Mexico will not be invaded.”
