Trump Resumes Intelligence Briefings as President-Elect

Donald Trump, now President-elect, has started receiving intelligence briefings despite past controversies over handling classified information.

Intelligence briefings for President-elect Trump began shortly after the November election, following a tradition established in 1952.
Trump had previously declined intelligence briefings during his campaign, citing concerns about being accused of leaks.
His past handling of classified documents, including a federal indictment related to documents found at Mar-a-Lago, raises concerns.
The charges against Trump for retaining classified documents are expected to be dropped after his election victory.
Trump has expressed intentions to reform intelligence agencies, citing perceived corruption and anti-democratic elements.
