President Trump on Tuesday criticized the “fake news” New Yorker for reporting that he was considering blocking former President Barack Obama’s intelligence briefings.
“Fake News, of which there is soooo much (this time the very tired New Yorker) falsely reported that I was going to take the extraordinary step of denying Intelligence Briefings to President Obama,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Never discussed or thought of!”

The New Yorker reported Monday that some of Trump’s advisers “thought that he should take the extraordinary step of denying Obama himself access to intelligence briefings that were made available to all of his living predecessors.”
“Trump was told about the importance of keeping former Presidents, who frequently met with foreign leaders, informed,” the report said. “In the end, Trump decided not to exclude Obama, at the urging of McMaster.”
