Biden said in an interview on CBS Evening News with Norah O’Donnell that he did not believe Trump should still receive intelligence briefings “because of his erratic behavior unrelated to the uprising,” and referred to the riot on Jan. 6 by Trump supporters during the U.S. Capitol.
Biden reiterates his belief that Trump is an ‘existential threat’ and ‘dangerous’. Asked about his worst fears if Trump continues to receive intelligence briefings, Biden refuses to speculate, but suggests he sees no value in Trump continuing to receive intelligence.
‘I’d rather not speculate out loud. I just think he does not need the intelligence briefings. What value does an intelligence briefing give him? What impact does he have at all, other than the fact that he might slip and say something? Biden said.
The White House said earlier this week that its national security team was conducting a review to determine whether Trump would continue to receive intelligence briefings after he left office. CNN reported Thursday that the U.S. intelligence community would review any requests for information about Trump’s briefings, in accordance with normal practice.
Some have called for Trump to be cut off from intelligence. Sue Gordon, a career intelligence officer who served as chief deputy director of national intelligence during the Trump administration, wrote an essay for the Washington Post, arguing that Trump “could be extremely vulnerable to bad actors with bad intentions” and that he should not receive further information about the intelligence. .
‘I do not make this recommendation casually. “It is based on my deep understanding of threats to national security, on decades of protecting our people and interests abroad, and on my experience in using technical means to counter our adversaries,” Gordon wrote in January.

“There are no circumstances in which this president needs to get any more information, neither now nor in the future,” Schiff said on CBS ‘Face the Nation. ‘There were, I think, a number of intelligence partners around the world who probably started withholding information from us because they did not trust the president to protect that information, and to protect their resources and methods. And it makes us less safe. ”
