Revoking Security Clearance and Dealing with an American ISIS Fighter

Guest: Eric Jensen, JD, Professor of International Law, BYU J. Reuben Clark Law School President Trump has revoked the security clearance of former CIA director John Brennan. Also the US is involved in some thorny negotiations over what to do with a captured ISIS fighter who has dual American and Saudi citizenship. Right now the US would really like to drop him off in Syria and be done with him. Also this week, Congress passed its annual Defense Authorization Act which charts a course for the coming year’s $700 billion in defense budget. Even as President Trump signed the bill, he said he had no intention of following many of the provisions in it. What should be understood from these recent events?
