The former president’s “erratic behavior, unrelated to the insurrection” disqualified him from receiving intelligence briefings, a courtesy typically extended to former presidents after they have left office, Biden said.
In a previous White House briefing, press secretary Jen Psaki said the decision to restrict Trump's access to intelligence briefings was still under review and would be up to the discretion of intelligence officials.
During the interview aired Friday, Biden expressed his position.
“What value is giving him an intelligence briefing?” he said. “What impact does he have at all, other than the fact he might slip and say something?”
“Biden’s remarks in his first sit-down network interview as president — set to air in full before Sunday’s Super Bowl game — are his strongest to date on the topic,” reported Politico.
