Trump Has Nearly Eliminated Intelligence Briefings

“President Trump’s interest in taking intelligence briefings has been declining steadily since his first months in office and has dropped to near zero in recent weeks,” according to a HuffPost review of all of his daily schedules.

“Trump went from a high of 4.1 briefings per week on average in March 2017 to 0.7 per week since July 1, shortly after it became public that he had ignored intelligence reports about Russia offering bounties to the Taliban for each American soldier killed in Afghanistan.”

“Monday’s briefing, in fact, was the first in August and the first since July 22. That month had only three briefings scheduled.”
