I'm not sure if this is good news or bad news. I worried that Harp sat in on all Trump meetings despite not having a security clearance until recently. Theoretically that means she would sit in when Trump receives the PDB, or President's Daily Brief. I asked some intel community friends what they thought of Harp sitting in. I was told Trump receives the PDB brief maybe once a month, rather than daily, as he has no time (golf, Fox news interviews, reading flattering reports about himself Harp prints, going over his ballroom and arch plans, ordering from Macs) and thinks he already knows better anyway. Thus, most of the intimate detail contained in the PDB has not passed Harp's ears. The bad news is that the PDB is still delivered every day, but the one who takes the briefing is Stephen Miller.
