Meanwhile, Donald Trump was questioned by Chris Wallace of Fox News Sunday over his plans to continue skipping daily presidential intelligence briefings.
Chris Wallace: “I just want to ask you about your skepticism about the intelligence community. You are getting the presidential daily brief —”
President-elect Donald Trump: “Yes.”
Chris Wallace: “— only once a week.”
President-elect Donald Trump: “Well, I get it when I need it.”
Chris Wallace: “But is that—is there some skepticism?”
President-elect Donald Trump: “No, no, I get it when I—first of all, these are very good people that are giving me the briefings. And I say, if something should change from this point, immediately call me. I’m available on one minute’s notice. I don’t have to be told—you know, I’m like a smart person. I don’t have to be told the same thing and the same words every single day for the next eight years.”
