Bill Summary
A BILL To revoke the security clearances of certain former members of the intelligence community, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Drain the Intelligence Community Swamp Act of 2025", aims to revoke the security clearances of 51 specific former intelligence community members who were signatories of a statement about the Hunter Biden emails from October 19, 2020. The bill mandates that within 24 hours of enactment, these individuals' security clearances will be automatically revoked, and they will be ineligible for future clearance renewal. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary of Defense and the Attorney General to investigate these individuals regarding their involvement in the Hunter Biden laptop scandal and potential engagement with the Biden Presidential campaign. The named individuals include prominent former intelligence officials such as Jim Clapper, John Brennan, Leon Panetta, and Mike Hayden, among many others. The bill appears to be a political measure targeting intelligence professionals who signed a statement that potentially challenged narratives about the Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2020 election period.
