Those affected will no longer have access to classified information or \u201cunescorted access to secure United States Government facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

They are also barred from receiving classified briefings, such as the President\u2019s Daily Brief, and from accessing classified information held by any member of the Intelligence Community.<\/p>\n
