President Joe Biden doesn't believe former President Donald Trump should receive classified intelligence briefings, as is tradition for past presidents, citing Trump's "erratic behavior unrelated to the insurrection."
Former presidents traditionally have been allowed to request and receive intelligence briefings.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki told CNN on Thursday that "the intelligence community supports requests for intelligence briefings by former presidents and will review any incoming requests, as they always have."
Trump was not known to fully or regularly read the President's Daily Brief, the highly classified summary of the nation's secrets, when he was in office. He was instead orally briefed two or three times a week by his intelligence officials, CNN has reported.
