Director of National Security Tulsi Gabbard wants to turn President Donald Trump's daily intel briefings into Fox News-type broadcasts because he "doesn't read." Gabbard is hoping to add animations and more dynamic multimedia elements to Trump's President's Daily Briefs, or PDBs, to fit his viewing habits and hold his attention, five people with knowledge of the discussions told NBC News.

NBC News reported that the process could involve granting the Fox News team security clearance to access classified information.
