Trump turns away intelligence briefings that must update him on global security threats
"Those who feared that Vice President-Elect Mike Pence would actually be the one running the country have another story they’re talking about Wednesday. The Washington Post reported Wednesday night that President-Elect Donald Trump has been denying the analysts tasked with giving him the top secret intelligence briefing every day. The briefings are to give the president and president-elect an update on global security threats and developments. The document is designed to give a summary of all 16 U.S. intelligence agencies to update the president on covert programs being run overseas by the CIA. Trump hasn’t been updated more than twice since he won the election over two weeks ago. Pence has received a briefing almost every day."
