Mikie recently introduced the Guarding the United States Against Reckless Disclosures (GUARD) Act, a bill that would prohibit any federal official or candidate charged with harming national security from accessing classified intelligence documents.
Why is this legislation so important? And why is it especially important right now?
Donald Trump is all but certain to be the Republican nominee for President (again), but this time around, he’s been indicted on federal charges for mishandling classified documents and trying to invalidate the results of the 2020 election. These are serious charges that prove he can’t be trusted with high-level intelligence knowledge — and Mikie’s doing something about it.
If Trump takes back the White House, he’ll once again gain access to privileged information and intelligence documents vital to our country’s national security. And that could be disastrous.
Thanks for your support. Protecting national security is an effort we can all get behind, and Mikie is taking tangible action to keep our country’s top-secret information safe.
