In a surprising move on Wednesday, former President Donald Trump announced that he would not be accepting the intelligence briefings typically offered to presidential nominees. Trump, who is currently a leading GOP candidate, expressed concerns about being falsely accused of leaking classified information if he were to receive these briefings. Historically, U.S. intelligence agencies provide such briefings to prepare candidates for the complex responsibilities of the presidency.

Democrats have repeatedly questioned Trump’s reliability when it comes to handling sensitive information. In a revealing interview with DailyMail, Trump made it clear that despite being eligible for the briefings, he saw them as a potential “setup” and opted to avoid them altogether.
