The list includes Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.
Those named will no longer be able to access classified briefings or secure U.S. government facilities without an escort.
In 2021, President Joe Biden stripped Trump of having access to intelligence briefings.
The memo follows Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's stripping the clearances earlier this month.
