«This just seems to be an exercise in trying to somehow protect the outgoing president’s ego.»
Former presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg (D) is expressing his frustration with President-elect Joe Biden’s inability to access intelligence briefings. MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle asked Buttigieg how big of a concern it is for Biden to have not received intelligence briefings this long after the election. “It’s a huge concern because you need to be able to prepare for the threat streams that the country faces. The intelligence community and the military, with no regard for politics, is out there doing the work of making sure day-by-day that the president is briefed on everything that we’re going to face,” Buttigieg said.
