WASHINGTON President-elect Donald Trump said in an interview airing Sunday that he doesnt need to receive a daily intelligence briefing, stating he only gets the briefing when he needs it.

I dont have to be told you know, Im, like, a smart person. I dont have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day, Trump said in an interview airing on Fox News Sunday. I dont need to be told ... the same thing every day, every morning same words. Sir, nothing has changed. Lets go over it again. I dont need that.

Trump is reportedly only receiving an intelligence briefing just once a week . The president-elect said the people who are giving him the briefings are very good people and that he was always available if something changed. He also said that Vice President-elect Mike Pence was receiving the briefings.

President Barack Obama has a briefing six days a week.
