White House is Reviewing Whether Former President Trump Should Continue Receiving Intel Briefings
The White House is conducting a review to determine whether former President Trump should continue receiving intelligence briefings now that he has left office.
Speaking at the White House press briefing on Monday, spokeswoman Jen Psaki said President Biden’s national security team is looking into the matter.
“It’s something that is under review,” Psaki said.
Former presidents typically have access to intelligence briefings after leaving office.
However, Democrats — and even some former Trump administration officials — have warned that the former president cannot be trusted with national security secrets, believing he could reveal sensitive information or seek to profit off of it.
