Summary
Despite concerns over Donald Trump’s past mishandling of classified information, including an FBI raid at his home in 2022, the Biden Administration is preparing to grant him access to national security briefings as part of a standard presidential transition.
This approach aligns with tradition, although intelligence experts are apprehensive, given Trump’s history of allegedly revealing sensitive information, notably to Russian officials.
Trump’s team is negotiating terms for office space and transition protocols but previously delayed signing a formal agreement with the General Services Administration.
Some Trump advisers have proposed bypassing standard security clearance procedures for incoming staff.
No, all he’s really looking for is the affirmation he never got from his father. Fill the classified briefings with quotes from people who love him. Leave the details out of it.
I remember reading that the people who wrote the briefings last time had to make sure his name appeared in any section they wanted him to read, otherwise he’s just skip it.
