Does Trump read or listen to the intelligence he gets every day?

Every president of the United States sat in his Oval Office chair every morning and received the early visit from a senior CIA briefer who handed him his presidential daily brief and was then available to discuss matters that took the president's notice. Some presidents, if pushed for time, just took the PDB as it's called and promised to read it later. Others just wanted an oral briefing highlighting all the best bits. Some presidents were really fascinated by all the detail and wanted to know everything - like President Jimmy Carter - and others showed less interest. Donald Trump is definitely in the latter category. By all accounts he normally doesn't want to plough his way through all the written paragraphs and expects an oral summing-up. The trouble with this way of dealing with intelligence titbits is that the briefer has to decide what to raise and what to just leave unsaid while still having everything included in the written brief. I find it extraordinary that the CIA briefer in the Russin GRU bounty/Taliban intelligence saga has not only been singled out as the person responsible for not telling Trump about it but has been identified in the US newspapers. That could never happen here in the UK. Newspapers are forbidden to name any member of the security and intelligence services except for the heads of the individual agencies. The CIA briefer who decided that the intelligence relating to the GRU bounty item was a woman with 30 years of experience in the agency. I'm not going to name her even though her name is all over the papers across the Atlantic. I'm sure she is terrific at her job. You don't get to be a presidential briefer unless you have developed a reputation for being an excellent intelligence officer. It's a prestige and highly pressured job. So, if the reports are accurate, she included the GRU/Taliban intelligence in the written brief as far back as February but he didn't see it, and she didn't raise it orally because she thought the intelligence was sketchy or at least not copper-bottom confirmed. Every reaction to this story from the White House and other top people in Washington has been riddled with semantics. Was Trump briefed on the intelligence? No, they say. Well, ok, he wasn't briefed orally as he likes, but it was in a paragraph in a PDB some months ago. Does he read the intelligence brief? Well of course he does, says the White House press secretary, but he wasn't briefed on the bounty item. You see, it's all clever semantics. The person I feel most sorry for is the CIA briefer who has been outed and whose remaining career will now be spotlighted around the world amongst America's enemies and adversaries.
