Donald Trump Plans to Continue Skipping Daily Intelligence Briefings
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Donald Trump was questioned by Chris Wallace of Fox News
Sunday over his plans to continue skipping daily presidential
intelligence briefings.

Chris Wallace: "I just want to ask you about your skepticism about the
intelligence community. You are getting the presidential daily brief -"

President-elect Donald Trump: "Yes."

Chris Wallace: "- only once a week."

President-elect Donald Trump: "Well, I get it when I need it."

Chris Wallace: "But is that-is there some skepticism?"

President-elect Donald Trump: "No, no, I get it when I-first of all,
these are very good people that are giving me the briefings. And I say,
if something should change from this point, immediately call me. I'm
available on one minute's notice. I don't have to be told-you know, I'm
like a smart person. I don't have to be told the same thing and the same
words every single day for the next eight years."
