Mark Zaid Sues Trump Administration Over Security Clearance Revocation
High-profile whistleblower attorney Mark Zaid filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration after his security clearance was revoked, claiming it was an act of “improper political retribution.” Zaid’s complaint argues that the revocation undermines his ability to represent clients effectively and violates his First and Fifth Amendment rights, as he has maintained access to classified information for nearly three decades. He seeks to have the revocation declared unconstitutional and emphasizes that no one should lose their livelihood due to political vendettas.
