Republicans in Congress have differing views on whether Joe Biden should get high-level intelligence briefings. This comes as some media companies are declaring Biden the winner while Trump is contesting the results in court alleging a fraudulent election.

Biden has been getting intel briefings as he is a nominee for president. But they do not include the type of top-secret information Trump gets on a daily basis. The briefings help the president stay fully informed. And in recent years, they have also been given to presidents-elect to help them be prepared for when they take office.
