    In June 2023, Ratcliffe joined The Heritage Foundation as a visiting fellow for national security, cybersecurity, and intelligence.[78] He was involved in national security personnel and policy planning for the second presidential transition of Donald Trump.[79] Ratcliffe proposed revoking the security clearances of former intelligence officials who signed a letter alleging that the Hunter Biden laptop controversy was a Russian operation; Trump signed an executive order pursuant to Ratcliffe’s suggestion in January 2025.[80]
