JD, I believe candidate's receiving briefings have been by convention, not bound by law or other requirement, and I think they typically increase in classification levels once someone is President-elect. That said, IIRC the former guy didn't approve briefing Biden, and it wasn't done (perhaps someone will correct me if wrong )

How about the nuclear codes..l

Then skip it with the Trojan Horse…
Fine by me. It would just get passed along to Putin et al anyway.
As has been the case since 2015, I'd bet my life.
