Clinton gets 1st intel briefing as candidate

Hillary Clinton received her first national security briefing Saturday as the Democratic presidential nominee, meeting with intelligence officials for an overview of the major threats facing the nation around the globe.

Clinton attended the briefing for more than two hours at the FBI office in White Plains, N.Y., near her suburban New York City home. Republican Donald Trump received his briefing earlier this month, a customary move for major party nominees but one that has been the subject of a political tussle during the campaign.

Trump was campaigning on Saturday in Iowa, headlining Republican Sen. Joni Ernst’s annual “Roast and Ride” fundraiser at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. The businessman was not planning to join the 42-mile motorcycle ride that is part of the event but he’s bringing his campaign to a state where polls show a tight contest. The event was a rare bright spot for Trump amid a sea of challenging battleground states.
