A Republican Senator broke ranks and suggested Biden should be receiving intel briefings. Almost. “Senator James Lankford said ‘no loss’ from Biden receiving intelligence briefings but later tweeted support for baseless voter fraud claims.” Chuck Grassley says it should be happening. (Trump may as well let Biden take the intel briefings. It’s not like they’re gonna run into each other there.)
