President Joe Biden has said he does not believe former President Trump should continue to receive intelligence briefings. Biden’s discretion as commander-in-chief is. The anchor and managing editor of “CBS Evening News”, Norah O’Donnell, spoke with Mr. Biden talks in the first network news interview he has given since his inauguration. It airs Sunday before 4pm before the Super Bowl.
“Well, then, let me ask you something you oversee as president,” O’Donnell said. “Should former president Trump still get information about information?”
Former presidents often have the opportunity to take note of information information.
“I do not think so,” replied Mr. Biden.
“Why not?” Ask O’Donnell.
“Because of his erratic behavior unrelated to the uprising,” he said. Biden said.

The president did not elaborate on his concerns about what could happen if Mr. Trump does not receive the briefings, but questions what value it could add to the country.
“I would rather not speculate out loud,” Mr Biden said. “I just think he does not have to have 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 say something?”
Earlier this week, Mr. Biden said he hopes to work with Republicans on a COVID-19 economic relief plan, but said Friday he wants to act quickly. Mr. Biden told O’Donnell that he would not use the amount of the $ 1,400 stimulus checks, but that he was willing to negotiate who would be eligible for the checks and whether a minimum wage increase to $ 15 per hour was included. .
He said he did not believe a minimum wage increase would eventually make the U.S. bailout plan.
The president said the $ 15 minimum wage was apparently “not going to happen because of the rules of the United States Senate.”

“I put it in, but I do not think it will survive,” he said. Bid added.
Instead, the president said he was willing to work on a $ 15 minimum wage stand-alone proposal.
“I think it will not be in it,” the president said of the nationwide hourly increase included in the U.S. rescue plan. “But I do think we should have a minimum wage, stand on our own, $ 15 an hour and work up to the – it does not have to be a boom. And all the economy shows, if you doing so, the whole Economy is rising.I’m willing, as President of the United States, to work up a separate minimum wage negotiation from what it is now, that is – look, no one has to work 40 hours a week and under the “Poverty does not live wage. And if you earn less than $ 15 an hour, you live below the poverty wage.”
The full interview will be broadcast on Sunday during the 16-hour ET before the Super Bowl, only on CBS.
