US EditionGabbard considering ways to revamp Trump's intelligence briefing
- National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard is exploring ways to revamp President Donald Trump's President's Daily Brief to better suit his preferences in 2025 Washington.
- Gabbard initiated the effort due to Trump's irregular PDB consumption and preference for verbal, concise, and policy-focused information, differing from former presidents' routines.
- The planned changes include shifting the PDB from a text-heavy digital document to a video format resembling a Fox News broadcast, focusing more on economy and trade and less on issues like Ukraine.
- Since inauguration, Trump received 55 PDBs, fewer than Biden’s 90 and Obama’s 63 during a comparable timeframe, and faces ongoing challenges engaging with intelligence material, as noted by officials.
- This revamp aims to align intelligence presentation with Trump's consumption habits to build trust and potentially influence decision-making, though the extent and impact of changes remain uncertain.
