JUST IN: Biden Judge Blocks President Trump’s Attempt to Strip Security Clearance From Deep State Lawyer Mark Zaid

A federal judge on Tuesday evening blocked President Trump’s attempt to strip the security clearance of Deep State lawyer Mark Zaid.

US District Judge, Amir Ali, said Trump’s attempt to strip the security clearance from Mark Zaid may violate the US Constitution.

Recall that Mark Zaid represented Eric Ciaramella, the Trump-Ukraine impeachment ‘whistleblower.’

Zaid also represents intelligence officials and other Deep State actors.

Earlier this year, President Trump stripped the security clearances of at least eight corrupt ‘antagonists’ who worked for Biden or targeted him for ruin over the last several years:

• Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken
• Former NatSec Advisor Jake Sullivan
• New York Attorney General Letitia James
• Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg
• Biden’s Deputy AG Lisa Monaco
• Corrupt prosecutor Andrew Weissmann
• Deep State lawyer Mark Zaid
• Norm Eisen – the man behind all the lawfare against Trump

“Per @POTUS directive, I have revoked security clearances and barred access to classified information for Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and Andrew Weissman, along with the 51 signers of the Hunter Biden “disinformation” letter. The President’s Daily Brief is no longer being provided to former President Biden,” Tulsi Gabbard announced on X in March.

Judge Ali issued a preliminary injunction blocking Trump’s attempt to strip the security clearance from a lawyer who represents whistleblowers.

“The Constitution forbids government officials from using their power to retaliate against people for their speech, and that is so even when the speech is critical of the government,” the judge wrote.

“This case involves the government’s retribution against a lawyer because he represented whistleblowers and other clients who complained about the government, carried out by summarily canceling the attorney’s security clearance without any of the process that is afforded to others,” the judge wrote.

Judge Ali stayed his preliminary injunction for 21 days to allow the Trump Administration to respond.

“The preliminary injunction shall not go into effect for twenty-one days, until January 13, 2026, to provide the government with the opportunity to consider next steps, including whether to appeal,” Judge Ali said.

“The defendants shall file a status report by December 30, 2025, advising the court of their proposed next steps,” Judge Ali wrote.
