- Attorney Mark Zaid filed a lawsuit in federal court in Washington on Monday against the Trump administration, challenging the decision to revoke his security clearance.
- The lawsuit contests a presidential directive issued in March, which identified Zaid and 14 others as unfit and justified the decision by citing national interest reasons.
- Zaid, a lawyer with nearly 35 years' experience representing whistleblowers and officials, claims the clearance revocation hinders his work in sensitive national security cases.
- The suit states Zaid faces "improper political retribution" that undermines his ability to "zealously advocate" for clients needing classified information access.
- This legal action reflects a broader campaign allegedly led by Trump to target perceived adversaries, with Zaid described as no stranger to exposing government abuse of power.
