Joe Biden forbids Donald Trump from getting US intel briefings
Trump and Joe Biden
Donald Trump should not continue to receive intelligence briefings normally available to former presidents because of his “erratic” behavior, President Joe Biden said in a US media interview.
“I just think that there is no need for him to have intelligence,” President Biden said in an interview with CBS Evening News on Friday.
“What value is giving him an intelligence briefing? What impact does he have at all other than the fact he might slip and say something,” Biden said.
Questions had been raised during Trump’s presidency about his ability to keep sensitive US intelligence secret.
Biden has said Trump was “unfit” to be president and in Friday’s CBS interview cited Trump’s “erratic behaviour unrelated to the insurrection”, a reference to the January 6 attack on the US Capitol by Trump political supporters.
