It’s the presidents call.

All this is part of the executive branch.

He has complete authority to determine who has access to what, within the limits imposed by congress.

That’s not a new privilege, all presidents have had this right.

Then you will admit that President Trump has idiotically terrible and absolutely unethical judgement? Or do you want to defend that?

We’ve come a long way from “Hillary shouldn’t be President because she has demonstrated a disrespect for national security information protocol” to “its Trump’s right as POTUS to disrespect national security information protocol”
