Trump plans to also revoke clearances for New York officials Letitia James and Alvin Bragg, who prosecuted him last year. He intends to target several others linked to investigations of his administration. In response, those affected have expressed their views. Letitia James dismissed Trump's actions as a distraction, while lawyers like Andrew Weissmann and Norm Eisen stated they would continue to hold Trump accountable through legal means.
