How much would the Presidential Daily Briefing be worth to Putin?

If I recall correctly, ex-presidents receive copies of them for life. Am I remembering correctly?

So, assuming I'm correct, do ya' think trump is adding up how much he can add to his retirement package?

not be something trump would read. But our Intel agencies need to make certain he isn't faxing, emailing, or reading it to Putin or having someone else do that.

I hope the PDB will be adjusted for trump, and only old information will be given to him once he leaves office. He can't be trusted.

Here's the Wikipedia entry about the PDB:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President%27s_Daily_Brief

It doesn't indicate that former presidents get a copy of it. In fact, I believe they only get a superficial monthly report so they can have some knowledge if the sitting president asks them for advice. I know it's hard to believe but they used to do that!
