    Keith Girard

    Trump Still Blowing Off Security Briefings, Increasing Risk of Terror Attacks

    Keith Girard
    Donald Trump’s refusal to attend regular intelligence briefings is increasing the nation’s risk of being caught off-guard by a terror attack that could come from the “most complex and diverse array of global threats” faced by the United States in decades.
