Obama faults Trump stance on intel briefings
None
US President Barack Obama, who's been complimented by President-elect Donald Trump for helping to smooth his transition to the White House, criticized Trump on Monday for saying he'll shun daily intelligence briefings when he takes office.
Appearing on Comedy Central's The Daily Show, Obama said that a president who isn't getting the benefit of such regular briefings from the intelligence community is likely "flying blind" in managing national security issues for the country.
Trump said in a television interview Sunday that he wasn't interested in getting daily intelligence briefings, a practice that's been a fixture for chief executives of both parties for several years.
