Lankford Backs Off Promising Biden Briefings

After saying he would step in if President-elect Joe Biden still wasn’t receiving detailed intelligence briefings Friday, Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) told Newsmax TV that his comments had been blown out of proportion.

Said Lankford: “I’m not in a hurry, necessarily, to get Joe Biden these briefings, it’s been interesting how the media, the national media, not this network, but others have twisted this term ‘step in.’ I happen to chair the committee that oversees GSA, that is the entity that has to be able to make this call.”
