The US president also confirmed he was revoking the security clearance of Joe Biden and "any other member" of the Biden family.

President Trump claims "many" of Biden's pardons are void because they were signed automatically and not by hand.

He told a court he's been displaced by LA fires, struggles to earn an income, and is millions of dollars in debt.

The Trump administration believes the announcement will encourage mass 'self deportations'.

"There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information," President Donald Trump says.

He says the move, which covers non-elite levels, restores fairness but human rights advocates have condemned it.

The former president was signed to the same agency between 2017 to 2020, which also represents the Obamas.
