US President Biden wants to deny his predecessor normal access to intelligence information. Trump had shown through his behavior in the past that he could chat.
The new president of the United States, Joe Biden, does not want to give his predecessor Donald Trump access to confidential intelligence information as usual. Trump displayed “erratic behavior” and could divulge secret information, Biden said in an interview with the CBS television station.
He doesn’t want to speculate on what might happen, but Trump simply doesn’t need the information anymore, Biden said. The president emphasized that his assessment was independent of Trump’s role in the assault on the Capitol by his supporters in early January. “What does intelligence bring you, what influence does it have, besides that it could make a mistake and say something?” Biden asked. His interview with CBS will air before Sunday’s Super Bowl, the biggest football game of the year.
Trump had shown little interest in the information in office
Former US presidents generally continue to receive confidential reports from the secret services. Before Trump can understand this, Biden has to agree. Critics had accused Trump of having disclosed secret information several times as president.
In addition, according to constant reports in the US media, he is said to have shown little interest in intelligence-laden briefings during his tenure. Informational meetings were recently noted only rarely on his public calendar, with Biden being almost every day.
