Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz will introduce legislation Thursday morning that would, among other things, prevent people from publicly disclosing whether they have a national security clearance.
The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the bill, which is titled the “Security Clearance Revolving Door Act of 2023.” The legislation would make the act of publicly disclosing a national security clearance a federal misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in prison and a fine of up to $1,000 per offense.
“The American people know that the Deep State exists primarily because of the widespread abuse of national security clearances by people who were trusted to act in our country’s interests. The national security state has weaponized itself against Americans to control and influence their political beliefs, particularly if they align with President Donald Trump,” Gaetz told the caller before introducing the legislation.
“Fifty-one former intelligence officials conspired and executed a plan with the Obama administration to suppress the source of information demonstrating corruption between Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and foreign business partners in Ukraine and China. These intelligence officers used their national security clearances as an imprimatur of legitimacy for their lies to influence the 2020 presidential election,” he continued. referring to a 2020 letter in which former intelligence officials stated that Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the classic characteristics of a Russian intelligence operation.” (RELATED: ‘Out of compliance’: Matt Gaetz slams McCarthy on House floor, threatens motion to vacate chair)
