Trump Slams Report He Mulled Ending Obama's Intel Briefings

President Donald Trump on Tuesday blasted a New Yorker report that said he had considered ending intelligence briefings for former President Barack Obama, tweeting "never discussed or thought of."

In its expose on former CIA director John Brennan on Monday, The New Yorker reported that advisers close to Trump urged him to cut off the briefings to Obama, a courtesy given to past presidents given their meetings with foreign leaders after leaving office.

The New Yorker reported that former national security adviser H.R. McMaster convinced Trump to not rescind the briefings.
