An official on Trump’s transition team said he’s been receiving “routine” daily briefings and national security briefings but refused to say how often.

Reuters reported Friday that Trump has asked for at least one briefing on specific subjects, which so far have not included Iran or Russia.

Reports emerged late last month that Trump had been turning down intelligence briefings after his election. The classified intel available to presidents- and vice presidents-elect outstrips that available to White House nominees.
