Sen Langford R-Oaka will intervene by Friday if Biden doesn't get daily intelligence briefings [View all]

-snip

“Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said Wednesday he will intervene if the Trump administration doesn’t start providing Biden with daily intelligence briefings by Friday as part of the transfer of power to the new administration.
“There is no loss from him getting the briefings and to be able to do that," Lankford told Tulsa radio station KRMG in an interview. "And if that’s not occurring by Friday, I will step in as well and be able to push and to say, ‘This needs to occur so that regardless of the outcome of the election, whichever way that it goes, people can be ready for that actual task.’”
