Security clearance reform is (understandably) a focus of the Senate today, who has introduced two bills to address both classification and the security clearance process. The Sensible Classification Act and the Classification Reform Act of 2023 were introduced by members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) last month. As Trump's indictment continues to spike interest (and his presidential polling numbers), several senators have gone on the record with the need to reform and overhaul the security clearance process. 

"So my legislation — it's bipartisan legislation — would change that and force these agencies to justify the number of security clearances, rather than just hand them out like candy," said Sen. John Cornyn in a Newsmax interview last week discussing his sponsorship of the Sensible Classification Act.
