Memorandum To Resolve the Backlog of Security Clearances for Executive Office of the President Personnel

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued a memorandum to address the backlog of security clearances for personnel in the Executive Office of the President. The memorandum orders the White House Counsel to provide a list of individuals who will receive interim Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearances for up to six months. These interim clearances will allow the personnel to access necessary facilities and technology to perform their duties. The White House Counsel is authorized to update the list and revoke clearances as needed. This action aims to ensure that qualified personnel can fulfill their roles without delay.
