TEXAS -- Retired Navy Admiral William McRaven’s message to President Donald Trump has been met with solidarity from former intelligence officials.

In a scathing letter published in the Washington Post Thursday, McRaven asked the president to "revoke his security clearance, too." It comes after Trump revoked the security clearance of former CIA director and frequent Trump critic John Brennan on Wednesday.

McRaven led the team that brought down Osama bin Laden and is the former chancellor of the University of Texas System.

He requested that the president revoke his clearance, which many top-level intelligence officials retain after their retirement, "so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency." 

Trump reacted to the request on Friday, saying: “I don't know McRaven. I know that I've gotten tremendous response from having done that because security clearances are very important to me. Very, very important."

Lauren McGaughy of the Dallas Morning News and John Moritz of the USA Today Network will join our reporter roundtable to discuss the reaction to McRaven and if it signals any future political aspirations.
