Sanders told reporters Friday after The Post’s report was published that he received the briefing “about a month ago.” Asked why he did not disclose the briefing publicly, Sanders replied, “Because I go to many intelligence briefings which I don’t reveal to the public.”

Certainly Bernie would have said that he was told not to say anything if he had been told such...

Why would those close to him tell WAPO if it was confidential?
