Obama says Trump will get classified briefings, but must protect secrets
Days after bluntly declaring Donald Trump unfit to be commander in chief, President Obama warned the Republican nominee on Thursday to watch what he says after he gets the traditional pre-election classified briefings. Obama told reporters in a rare press conference at the Pentagon that he would follow longstanding tradition and provide intelligence briefings to Trump and his rival, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Obama blasted Trump on Monday as “unfit to serve as president” and pressured senior Republicans who have endorsed the brash entrepreneur to consider rescinding their support in light of frequent controversial or purely false statements.
