Biden says Trump should no longer receive intelligence briefings due to his ‘erratic behavior’

News & Politics

President Joe Biden says he believes former President Donald Trump should no longer receive intelligence briefings—a privilege granted to all former presidents—due to what he called Trump’s “erratic behavior.”

What are the details?

During an interview with “CBS Evening News with Norah O’Donnell” that aired Friday, the host asked Biden, “Should President Trump still receive intelligence briefings?”

“I think not,” Biden replied. When asked to explain, he said, “Because of his erratic behavior unrelated to the insurrection.”

O’Donnell noted, “I mean, you’ve called [Trump] an existential threat, you’ve called him dangerous, you’ve called him reckless.”

Biden responded, “Yeah, I have, and I believe it.”

The Democrat went on to say that while he “would rather not speculate out loud” about any fears he has about Trump receiving further intel, saying, “I just think that there’s no need for him to have the intelligence briefing.”

He the asked rhetorically, “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?”

The Hill reported that “the White House said earlier this week that its national security team is conducting a review to determine whether Trump should continue to receive intelligence briefings after having left office,” noting that “CNN reported Thursday that the U.S. intelligence community would review any requests for intelligence briefings from Trump, in keeping with normal practice.”

President Trump is set to undergo a second impeachment trial in the Senate, after the House voted to impeach him for incitement of an insurrection due to his actions surrounding the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of his supporters.

The former president has not wavered in his claim that the Nov. 3 election was “rigged” and stolen from him, and he held a rally ahead of the Capitol siege in protest of the Electoral College results—which were certified by Congress after members resumed the joint session that was interrupted by the deadly attack.

When O’Donnell asked Biden, a former longtime Senator from Delaware, how he would vote on whether to convict Trump were he still in the upper chamber, he refused to answer.

Biden then said of Trump, “Look, I ran like hell to defeat him because I thought he was unfit to be president. I’ve watched what everybody else watched, what happened when that crew invaded the United States Congress. But I’m not in the Senate now. I’ll let the Senate make that decision.”

  1. This is just another partisan attempt to smear President Trump’s name. If they take away this privilege, then it should also be taken away from ALL former Presidents as well as ALL former politicians who are no longer in office.

    By the way, the current occupant of the White House hasn’t always shown the best mental health or intellectual acuity, so the same argument could be applied to him also.

      1. Please explain President Trump’s BS!!!!!! I must have missed something when I went to bed at night while President Trump was in office!!!!!!

    1. Freaking moans and uneducated idiots don’t u know former KGB agent just said Trump is puppet and agent to Russia to destroy America from within

      1. You trust the KGB after talking of their disinformation campaigns? On top of which the alleged ex-agent stated Russia wooed Trump, but never said It was successful. Just as China has wooed Biden. Or any country has tried doing this with any past President

  2. President Joe Biden says he believes former President Donald Trump should no longer receive intelligence briefings—a privilege granted to all former presidents—due to what he called Trump’s “erratic behavior.”

    Erratic behavior according to who? Most of America is questioning YOUR erratic behavior not Trump’s.

  3. “Look, I ran like hell to defeat him…” Sleepy Joe, are you talking about running on a treadmill in your basement? You certainly cannot be talking about the election. Your puppet masters did that for you.

  4. Never will believe anything from this administration or media influenced propaganda, the whole democratic party needs to be wiped clean with new America first candidates.

  5. Biden could take lessons from Trump about dealing with a crisis. The dumcrats were after Trump before he was elected, and never stopped because he was trying to drain the swamp.

  6. Did/does Obama continue to get briefings (talk about a threat)? Does Joey want to get them when his term is done (I assume he thinks he will serve out his term)? Does Kammy want to get them after her term?

  7. My question is … why isn’t every one removed after their term is up . They no longer serve in any capacity . So why are the kept in the loop ??? That’s how all this crap with spying started . They need the money like the obamas now do . They don’t want to give up that high and mighty living at our expense . Just look at how hillary and Obama lied and spyed on trump to get old joe points to win . Their left in the loop . Why ???? Corruption at it’s best

  8. It’s all about power and control. And now the Democrat Socialists want to completely eradicate President Trump from the annuals of history.

  9. Without President Trump around none of the media have anything to talk about that’s why they keep on bringing up his name because he is relevant to politics today especially regarding the republican party, President Trump will be our 47th president there is no doubting that he will be back in some form he says but I’m here to let you know that form will be as our 47th president and you can take that to the bank, but without President Trump the Democrats and the fake news media on the left have nothing to talk about that’s why they keep his name in the headlines.If you are looking for a new conservative news outlet because Fox News has collapsed then go to the Next News Network for the real consevitive news regarding political issues and current events.

  10. I have also noticed the dems are throwing mud at people who supported President Trump. Recent examples include Lou Dobbs and Tom Brady. Lastly, I had to comment on the Pope being so proud that another Catholic was elected President. As a Catholic myself, I am embarrassed that dementia joe is considered a catholic since his social leanings are pro-abortion, pro -transgenderism and pro-homosexual. Really makes me sick to my stomach.
