Trump not likely to start receiving classified briefings

The White House is awaiting approval from the American intelligence community before granting classified briefings to Donald Trump, the presumed Republican nominee.

Traditionally, American presidential candidates start receiving regular briefings once they are formally the nominee, after the party conventions.

Donald Trump has said all sorts of things about foreign policy and international relations, and White House spokesman Josh Earnest indicated, he's not likely to receive those briefings any time soon.

IN: "This decision...
OUT: ...the White House."
DUR: 15
