WASHINGTON—Donald Trump’s transition team said Wednesday that he is getting formal intelligence briefings at least three times a week.
Spokesman Sean Spicer said the president-elect also is meeting daily with incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn on intelligence matters. Flynn is a retired Army general and led the Defense Intelligence Agency until 2014.
“Every single day, he’s getting a briefing,” Spicer told reporters on the daily transition conference call. “Three times a week, it’s the actual” President’s Daily Brief, the highest-level intelligence document produced in the United States.
