Live updates: Biden says Trump should not receive intelligence briefings because of his ‘erratic behavior’

By Colby Itkowitz, Felicia Sonmez, John Wagner and Amy B Wang at the Washington Post

"SNIP.....

President Biden, in an interview with the “CBS Evening News With Norah O’Donnell,” said former president Donald Trump should not receive intelligence briefings, citing his “erratic behavior unrelated to the insurrection.”

“I just think that there is no need for him to have the intelligence briefings. What value is giving him an intelligence briefing? What impact does he have at all, other than the fact he might slip and say something?” Biden said when questioned. The White House has been reviewing whether the former president, now out of office, should get the briefings.

I think when you look at the fact that trump wouldn’t hang Obama’s picture and he rescinded security clearances of Brennan and others, I wouldn’t have a hard time telling him to fuck off.
