(CNN) Joe Biden's incoming White House chief of staff on Sunday did not rule out blocking President Donald Trump from receiving intelligence briefings once he is a private citizen. "So obviously, we don't have those intelligence professionals in place yet. (I) hope the Senate moves to confirm them quickly and then we'll look what they recommend in terms of intelligence sharing going forward," he continued. Former Trump principal deputy director of national intelligence Sue Gordon wrote in an op-ed published in The Washington Post on Friday that Trump "might be unusually vulnerable to bad actors with ill intent" once he is no longer President. "No departing president in the modern era has hinted at or planned on becoming a political actor immediately after leaving office."
