Trump strips Deep State operative Norm Eisen of security clearance in major blow to anti-Trump efforts
By Cassie B. // Feb 12, 2025

  • President Trump revoked Norm Eisen’s security clearance, targeting a key figure in efforts to undermine his presidency.
  • Eisen, a former Obama official and Trump impeachment co-counsel, has led numerous legal and political campaigns against Trump.
  • Eisen co-founded CREW, filing nearly 200 lawsuits against Trump and spearheading efforts to disqualify him from the 2024 ballot.
  • The revocation limits Eisen’s access to classified information, curbing his influence over government operations and media narratives.
  • Eisen vows to continue legal battles, calling the revocation a “backhanded compliment” and pledging further lawsuits against Trump.

President Trump has made yet another move to curb the influence of unelected bureaucrats, this time revoking the security clearance of Norm Eisen, a prominent figure in the Deep State and a relentless antagonist of Trump’s presidency.

The decision marks a significant victory for those who have long criticized Eisen’s role in weaponizing government institutions against Trump and his administration. Eisen, a former Obama administration official and co-counsel for the House Judiciary Committee during Trump’s first impeachment, has been a central figure in nearly every effort to delegitimize and remove the president from office.

The revocation of Eisen’s clearance raises a critical question: Why did he have one in the first place? For years, Eisen has used his insider access to orchestrate legal and political campaigns against Trump, all while operating outside the bounds of democratic accountability. His removal from the classified information loop is a long-overdue step toward restoring integrity to America’s institutions.

Who is Norm Eisen?

Norm Eisen is no ordinary political operative. A Harvard-educated lawyer and former U.S. ambassador to the Czech Republic, Eisen has spent decades entrenched in Washington’s power corridors. Under the Obama administration, he earned the nickname “Dr. No” for his rigid enforcement of ethics rules, but his career took a sharp turn toward partisan warfare during Trump’s presidency.

Eisen co-founded Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a nonprofit that has spearheaded numerous lawsuits against Trump, including efforts to remove him from the 2024 ballot in Colorado. He also served as special counsel during Trump’s first impeachment, drafting ten articles of impeachment before the infamous Ukraine phone call even took place. Eisen’s fingerprints are on nearly every major legal and political attack against Trump, from the emoluments clause lawsuits to the January 6 Committee’s investigations.

A history of undermining Trump

Eisen’s crusade against Trump began long before the president took office for his first term. In 2016, Eisen co-authored a lawsuit alleging Trump violated the emoluments clause before he was even sworn in. During Trump’s presidency, Eisen’s CREW filed nearly 200 lawsuits against the administration, making him one of the most prolific legal adversaries of a sitting president in U.S. history.

Eisen’s most recent efforts include leading the charge to disqualify Trump from the 2024 ballot under the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause. Though the Supreme Court unanimously rejected this argument, Eisen’s relentless pursuit of Trump highlights his determination to use the legal system as a weapon against his political opponents.

Trump’s decision to revoke Eisen’s security clearance is a significant blow to the Deep State’s ability to operate unchecked. Without access to classified information, Eisen’s ability to influence government operations and media narratives will be severely curtailed.

Eisen, however, remains defiant. In a statement to USA TODAY, he called the revocation a “backhanded compliment” and vowed to continue his legal battles against Trump. “I intend to return it in the best way I know how: by filing many more lawsuits against his and his cronies’ wrongdoing,” Eisen said.

The revocation of Norm Eisen’s security clearance is a victory for those who believe in the rule of law and the importance of elected officials, not unelected bureaucrats, shaping America’s future. Eisen’s decades-long career of undermining Trump and weaponizing government institutions against a sitting president underscores the need for greater accountability in Washington. While Eisen may continue his legal crusades, his removal from the classified information loop is a step toward dismantling the Deep State’s shadowy influence.
