Hillary Clinton hits Trump’s claims he didn’t receive intel about bounties on US troops: ‘I would have read my damn briefs’
The White House in recent days has maintained that the President had no knowledge of an effort by a Russian military intelligence unit to pay the Taliban to kill US soldiers.
“Can you imagine how President Hillary Clinton – a Woman with a powerful mind – would have handled this pandemic?” Streisand wrote.
Pressed on Monday whether the information had been included in the President’s Daily Brief — a written document that includes the intelligence community’s more important and urgent information — White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said only that Trump “was not personally briefed.”
Trump is not known to fully or regularly read the President’s Daily Brief, something that is well-known within the White House. He is instead orally briefed two or three times a week by his intelligence officials. The White House maintains he was not briefed about this in the oral session.
Clinton, who lost the 2016 presidential election to Trump, concluded her endorsement with a hope for Biden: “I wish he were president right now.”
