Trump Receives Intelligence Briefings as President-elect

President-elect Donald Trump has begun receiving intelligence briefings from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) following his recent election victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. This practice continues a long-standing tradition of providing briefings to incoming presidents, despite Trump's previous reluctance to accept them during his campaign to avoid allegations of leaking classified information. Trump is still facing federal charges related to his mishandling of classified documents, although a judge dismissed these charges earlier this year. He has already announced several key appointments for his administration, including Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence. As Trump prepares for his return to the White House, concerns remain regarding his handling of sensitive information given his history with classified materials.
