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 Presidents Daily Brief, or PDB, is now available to Trump after the White House, before Tuesdays 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.

He’s gonna be WAY more than pissed.
He’s asking for 4,000 replacements.
He uses a Samsung Galaxy.
Hmmmmm I wonder if President Trump can order Obama’s college records unsealed.
We need to do security clearances like we did in the 60s and 70s. None of this call to verify cr8p, none of this outsourcing to privater companies.
Heh....good one.
“It was one of our spec 4’s who put a Brig. General up against the wall with a cocked .45 to his head. “
Several years ago a base commander at (I think) Osan in South Korea married a much younger Korean woman. She left the base to go shopping and forgot her ID. She tried to push through the gate by simply saying “I’m the general’s wife” the guards had her face down, and despite wearing a mini-skirt, spread eagle on the ground in about 30 seconds.
the entire Odumbo real records are located in a law firm vault in VA. Send FBI agents there in a surprise move and guard it. THEN executive order open it.
**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.**
They just “learned” that?
Happens with every President-elect. That way they can hit the ground running. Would FOX rather he get hos first briefing on Inauguration Day?
Couldn’t agree more. I was thinking the same exact thing earlier today.
Thanks, all!
This exact information was put up on wikipedia on Nov. 9th. I posted it here on that date.
