Currently, the briefings are offered on a regular basis to Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W Bush and Barack Obama. Biden, speaking to Norah O’Donnell of CBS News, said Trump’s behaviour worried him “unrelated to the insurrection” that gave rise to the second impeachment of Trump. “I just think that there is no need for him to have the intelligence briefings,” Biden said. We’ve seen this president politicise intelligence, and that’s another risk to the country.”The question of how Trump handles intelligence came up several times during his presidency. But a former President Trump, even before the events of last week, might be unusually vulnerable to bad actors with ill intent.”c.2021 The New York Times Company
