Former CIA Director John Brennan, a vocal critic of President Trump, found out he had been blocked from accessing his classified notes and records while working on his new memoir.

He writes in his forthcoming book, Undaunted: My Fight Against America’s Enemies, at Home and Abroad, that after months of "haggling" he discovered the CIA was abiding by the directive Trump gave in August 2018 "that purportedly forbids anyone in the intelligence community from sharing classified information with me."

The White House confirmed the directive was being enforced, which is news considering the New York Times reported in May of last year that the president never revoked Brennan's security clearance.

A hologram of George Floyd transposed over a statue of Confederate general Robert E Lee was unveiled in Virginia on Tuesday.

The hologram, which was launched by Change.org and The George Floyd Foundation, featured various lights that formed to make a 3-D image of Mr Floyd, with his name written around him.

The event on Tuesday took place on the historic Monument Avenue in Richmond and was the first public unveiling of the George Floyd Hologram Memorial Project, according to the Associated Press.

Mr Floyd’s family were at the event, for the unveiling of what was the first of many holograms that will be projected in southern US states over the next week as part of the project.

A press release from the organisers said the project aims to “transform spaces that were formerly occupied by racist symbols of America’s dark Confederate past into a message of hope, solidarity and forward-thinking change.”
