Why Joe Biden will Deny Trump Intelligence Briefings?

US president Joe Biden does not believe if former president Donald Trump deserves the privileges of access to intelligence briefings. Traditionally, Trump’s predecessors enjoyed the access to intelligence meetings. Biden was responding to an evening interview with CBS screen siren Norah O’Donell after he had been asked whether he would allow Trump to get the briefings.
Biden termed Trump’s behavior as “erratic” due to the incitement to insurrection where a section of Trump’s supporters stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2020. It was alleged that it was Trump who triggered his supporters to openly denounce electoral outcome and interfere with the session that was meant to certify Biden’s win. 
Biden made the statement a week before the beginning of Trump’s second impeachment trial. Democrats-controlled House of Representatives successfully moved an impeachment motion.
Trump made history as the first president in the US history to be impeached twice. He, then, declined to attend the inauguration of his successor. Trump was blocked from both Facebook and Twitter and left White House a dejected man, with wife Melanie hurrying to dress in ‘civilian attire.’ 
Biden do not trust Trump with classified information and was quoted by the Guardian stating that: “I just think there is no need for him to have access to intelligence briefings. What is the value of giving him intelligence briefing? What impact does he have at all, other than the fact he might slip and say something?”
Tit-for-tat is a fare game. When Biden was declared as president-elect, Trump denied him access to intelligent meetings, in what was seen as a move to delay the transition.

Kenyans surprised over UDA's 'Voters Repair' remarks for President Ruto 2027 reelection

 Kenyans are reacting strongly to remarks by some UDA leaders that many interpret as hints at election manipulation ("ukarabati ya kura" / "voters repair") ahead of the 2027 presidential election. What Happened On or around May 23, 2026, NTV Kenya and other outlets aired footage from a UDA meeting at Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula's home.  Leaders including Savula and MP Charles Gimose reportedly used phrases like "tutafanya ukarabati ya kura" (we will repair/do maintenance on the votes).  Some comments referenced high victory margins in places like Tanzania under Samia Suluhu or Museveni-style wins. This has been widely seen as implying plans to "fix" or pad results in favor of President William Ruto's reelection, rather than a literal call for better voter registration or system maintenance. Public Reaction 1. Surprise and outrage: Many Kenyans on X and social media expressed shock, viewing it as arrogant or desperate signaling am...
