President-elect Donald Trump will now have access to the most authoritative and highly classified intelligence produced by the U.S. government, Fox News has learned.
Two intelligence sources confirmed that the President’s Daily Brief, or PDB, is now available to Trump – after the White House, before Tuesday’s election, had directed that the winner have full access to the material, to ensure a smooth transition.
The sources told Fox News they do not anticipate the briefings will begin until next week at the earliest.
While Trump prepares to be read in on top U.S. intelligence, he and his transition team are busy assembling potential candidates for key roles in the Trump administration. He tweeted Friday that he had a “busy day” planned in New York and would soon “be making some very important decisions on the people who will be running our government.”
The PDB is like a highly classified newspaper for the president, and now the president-elect. It is significantly different than the information provided in briefings for candidates; those briefings act as primers to help bring candidates up to speed on topics like China, Iran and the Islamic State.
Candidates have been free to request additional briefs on topics of personal interest, and those supplemental briefings were made available to the other candidate.
The PDB is a focused intelligence product, and has a very high threshold for intelligence to be included.
If Trump were to receive the brief in New York City, the president-elect would need to travel to a secure federal facility, such as the FBI office.

Changing it would allow more Europeans in and less South Americans, or just less immigration over all? Just wondering because Europeans are big socialist to
A SCIF is much more secure than a typical FBI office.
We need to raise the level back up to what it's supposed to be, and send to prison those CommiecRATs who have ignored it for the last 8 years.
Should he set up an unsecured server now?
Pray America woke
Just remember his current advisor on National Security is Mike Flynn former director of DIA. Flynn’s former command produces a lot of what goes into that briefing [DIA is actually bigger than CIA BTW]. Flynn will know if Trump is getting the real stuff or not.
I think what he finds will blow him mind, it’s going to be shocking to him the depths of corruption that’s been going on. I really believe that what we’ve been hearing is only one mere atom on the very tip of the iceberg and hopefully it will convince him to start perusing justice against the Clinton criminal cabal and the Obama treason regime.
So now he’s on Broom Hillary’s email list.
And half the intelligence agencies around the world thanks to Hillary’s homebrew email server.
“A SCIF is much more secure than a typical FBI office.”
The lovely SCIF. My windowless home for 4 years when I wasn’t flying. How I don’t miss the freezing temperatures, the threat of halon fire extinguishers, or the armed over-eager E-1 SP/MP waiting for something to happen.
The companion story should be how Bobo regularly disdains the threat matrix update.
There are a few good people in the media. We need to hang on to them and support them. They are vastly outnumbered.
At least he isn’t paying Huma Abedin for it?
Yep. He needs to “clap off” the Clapper.
Would we see a similar report if Hillary had won the election? I think not. After all, she is the most qualified person ever to run for President.
Our MP slots were E-4 except for the shift Sgts, and one SSG NCOIC.
It was one of our spec 4's who put a Brig. General up against the wall with a cocked .45 to his head. The silly ass 1 star thought that because he was a General he could enter the compound without being on our access list.
When the 1 star complained to his boss a 2 Star, the 2 star told him that he too had no access to the ASA compound, and that he's lucky he wasn't shot.
After that incident they were given a sanitized briefing by our Commander.
Many years later I witnessed a similar incident at a tactical field SCIF we'd set up to work a live mission.
[secure federal facility, such as the FBI office.]
Ha I imagine Trump being brought into a sparsely furnished room in a dilapidated FBI office with an old 386 PC with a giant core of wires leading down into the floor. From behind the closed door you can hear Trump yelling, WHAT IS THIS JUNK? You’re fired... and you’re FIRED...
So what? A good many folk around the world have all that top secret stuff and then some thanks to Hellary.
At least he isn’t paying Huma Abedin for it?
“A SCIF is much more secure than a typical FBI office.”
The FBI handles National Security cases/investigations, so they would have some form of SCIF to accommodate that mission. Might not be the White House Briefing Room, but adequate.
Yepper - I worked in a number of SCIFs in my career and ran a 22 man shop (Army/Navy/AF/Civ employees) developing courses for NSA's secure networks.
We got a new General Base Commander and we actually held him up at the door the first time he tried to come in for a tour because his paperwork wasn't yet in order. Also worked as a SSO, SSA and ISSO along with being unit Security Manager for a number of years - what has occurred over the last 8 years would have put a lot of us in jail for a loooong time if we had been so lax with security measures. It's disgusting that high risk folks get blanket access simply because "the People elected them" when they otherwise couldn't have gotten a Secret clearance much less a TS/SCI/NATO/Nuke set of credentials.
