of the Democratic Party of America.

The briefings are given to party nominees as soon as they are nominated.

Of course it will be more work for the briefer as they'll actually have to type something up vs. Cut and pasting pictures.

He'll soon find out that the Trump White House & his cabinet is a bunch of goons only there for the big grift.

I don't believe any of them care to read anything & they operate independently of each other with a patch kit ready in case shit hits the fan.
Then they send out the spokesmodel & media spinners to pretend the WH gives a shit about anything that has to do with US & Foreign laws or the people of this country.

The only one governing this country is Vlad.

What if Biden gets info in these briefings that needs to be acted on immediately, and trump is twiddling his thumbs? He can't do anything about it?

Before now if was never an issue.

But Biden is experienced enough to know what questions to ask.
