Trump&#8217;s \u2062last such briefing was in January 2021, and\u200b he was known for being actively engaged during \u200bhis first term, often asking questions and interacting with the \u200binformation presented.<\/p>\n<p>However, Trump&#8217;s tenure was\u2063 also marked by a\u2062 controversial handling of classified information. He has been indicted \u2063in connection with the unauthorized \u2064retention \u200bof classified documents,\u2063 which were \u2062found at his Mar-a-Lago residence after he left office. \u200dFurthermore, he has a \u2063history\u200c of accidentally disclosing sensitive intelligence, including details of a North\u200d Korean missile launch during a \u2063dinner meeting and information about American spy satellite capabilities via social media. The \u200bintelligence community&#8217;s efforts \u2064to brief him during the 2016 transition were described as\u2064 &#8220;struggling,&#8221; which\u2064 limited the establishment\u200d of a robust relationship between them. <\/p>\n<p>These ongoing \u200cbriefings \u2062for Trump\u2064 raise questions about how\u2062 security \u2063protocols will be managed, especially \u200din light of his legal challenges \u2062and\u200d past\u200b handling of classified information.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump begins receiving intelligence briefings<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1885799\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President-elect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> has begun receiving classified intelligence briefings from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/odni\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Office of the Director of National Intelligence<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Officials <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2024\/11\/19\/trump-intelligence-cia-odni-secret\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"told\">told<\/a> the <em>Washington Post<\/em> that the briefings began after the November election.
