The CIA has opened a window into former president Donald Trump’s always interesting and frequently contentious relationship with the intelligence community. A newly published history confirms a lot of what we already knew about Trump’s preferences—like that he didn’t actually read his daily top secret briefing—but it also shows Trump as privately more appreciative of career intelligence professionals than his public broadsides against their deep-state bosses might suggest.

Shane Harris sat down with Lawfare’s David Priess, the man who wrote the book about the President’s Daily Brief, to chew over a new chapter in the “Getting to Know the President” series by John L. Helgerson, a retired CIA officer and former inspector general. The understated title, “Donald J. Trump—A Unique Challenge,” gives you a hint that as with all things Trump, his relationship to the intelligence community was anything but business as usual.
