Obama hits Trump on intel briefings: ‘It doesn’t matter how smart you are’
President Obama in an interview late Monday stressed the importance of daily intelligence briefings after President-elect Donald Trump pushed back against criticism that he receives the briefings only once a week.
“It doesn’t matter how smart you are,” Obama said on “The Daily Show” with Trevor Noah. “You have to have the best information possible to make the best decisions possible.”
In an interview that on “Fox News Sunday,” Trump pushed back against criticism, saying, “I get it when I need it.”
“First of all, these are very good people that are giving me the briefings. And I say, ‘If something should change from this point, immediately call me. I’m available on one minute’s notice.'”
“I’m, like, a smart person,” Trump said.
