The Hill: Classified briefings to begin for Clinton, Trump
Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are set to begin receiving the classified intelligence briefings historically given to the presidential nominee of each major party every four years.
“Now is the appropriate time, since both candidates have been officially anointed,” Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said on Thursday during public remarks at a security conference in Aspen, Colo.
Clinton officially accepted the Democratic nomination on Thursday night. Trump officially became the GOP nominee the week prior.
These briefings — a tradition begun by President Harry Truman in 1952 — are intended to prepare the nominees and ensure continuity with the next administration.
