WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump’s intelligence chief is exploring ways to transform his daily intelligence briefings to build trust in the material and make it more consistent with the way he likes to consume information.

As part of this effort, Tulsi Gabbard, the head of national intelligence, solicited ideas from current and former intelligence officials who could tailor the briefings (called the president’s daily briefing or PDB) for Trump’s policy interests and habits.

Four people who are directly aware of the discussion say that one idea that has been discussed may be creating a video version that looks like Fox News Radio.

Currently, PDB is a digital document created daily for the President and major cabinet members and consultants, including written text as well as graphics and images. Materials in classification briefs and how materials are presented can shape presidential decisions.

According to his public timeline, Trump has taken PDB 14 times since Trump’s inauguration, an average of less than once a week, which is less frequent than his recent predecessors (including himself in his first term). Analysis of their public schedules in the same time frame – from their inauguration to the first year of May, it shows former President Joe Biden won 90 pdbs; Trump won 55; and former President Barack Obama won 63.

People who know directly about the PDB discussion said Gabbard believed that the rhythm might reflect Trump's preference for consuming information in a different form than formal briefings, and his distrust of intelligence officials, which dates back to his first term when he accused them of surveillance in the 2016 campaign. They also said that even if the introduction of PDB changes, the information included will not be included.

When asked about comments, DNI press secretary Olivia Coleman said in a statement: "This so-called 'report' is ridiculous, ridiculous and candid falsehood. In the way of real fake news, NBC is publishing another false story that was proposed anonymously."

A source familiar with DNI internal deliberations said that during Gabbard's confirmation process in the Senate, "a bipartisan consensus was reached that the PDB needed serious reforms. DNIGABBARD is leading this reform and ensuring that the president has a timely, relevant, objective, objective intelligence report."

White House spokesman Davis Ingle called the report “defamational trash from unnamed sources” and said: “President Trump has gathered a world-class intelligence team and is constantly updating with him in real time with national security issues for everyone and ensuring the safety and security of the American people.

It is not uncommon for PDB to be tailored for individual presidents. PDB's speech has been adjusted to Trump in his first semester, which includes less text and more pictures and graphics. According to people who know the direct knowledge of the discussion, Gabbard discusses the broader change. It's not clear how far her efforts will go, but those who know it directly say she's already entertaining some unconventional ideas.

According to four people who are directly aware of the discussion, one idea that has been discussed is to change the PDB to reflect Fox News Broadcast. Based on that concept already discussed, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence could hire Fox News producers to make it, or the personality of the network could hire to show it. Trump is an avid Fox News viewer who can watch the broadcast PDB anytime.

A new PDB can include not only graphics and pictures, but also maps with animated representations of explosive bombs, similar to video games, another person in discussion said.

"The problem with Trump is that he hasn't read it," said another person who knows directly about the PDB discussion. “He’s been broadcasting.”

There are people who are directly aware of the PDB discussions and talk on anonymous condition because they are not authorized to discuss internal deliberations.

U.S. intelligence officials have created videos in the past to present information to the president, including the profile of world leaders. Hollywood legend Charlton Heston tells the teaching film about highly classified topics of the Department of Energy and the U.S. intelligence and military community. The films include information about nuclear weapons, requiring Heston to maintain the highest relevant security permit for at least six years.

Former intelligence official working in Trump’s First Administration said Trump would rather verbally present and ask questions but would not read memos or other lengthy written materials.

According to John Helgerson's history of presidential briefings, during Trump's first semester, the PDB evolved into a book's theme overview through a set of graphics, presented verbally by intelligence officers about twice a week.

To adapt to Trump’s style and preferences, Vice President Mike Pence told briefers to “live forward on the map” according to Helgerson’s book.

But there is no PDB presentation in the style of broadcast or cable news. Since its inception in 1946, the PDB has undergone various transformations of different presidents, but it is mainly done in writing and then briefly introduced to the president verbally.

According to three people who were directly aware of the PDB discussion, Gabbard also discussed some of the contents of tailoring the PDB to Trump’s interests, such as including more information on economic and trade issues, and reduced daily attention to the Ukrainian war.

Including intelligence on issues, it is not uncommon for the President to be particularly concerned about. Biden's PDB includes issues of gender and climate change.

"You'll shift due to administration priorities," the person said, adding that it was "a very difficult battle" to embrace PDB because of Trump's distrust of the intelligence community.

As Director of National Intelligence, Gabbard oversees and approves PDB. A large number of analysts and other employees at the CIA compiled the PDB, creating detailed text, graphics, and videos based on the latest intelligence collected by the U.S. spy agencies.

NBC News reported that Gabbard plans to transfer PDB from the ready office of CIA’s headquarters in Langley, Virginia to the Office of the Director of the National Intelligence Agency several miles away from McLean, apparently to enhance its office’s role in showing intelligence to the president.

One of five people familiar with the discussion said ODNI needs to expand its staff and obtain digital tools and other infrastructure to assemble PDBs.

The person said that if the PDB was to be converted into Trump's video, it would still be likely to be available to other senior administration officials in its current form.

Because he averages less than once a week, Trump has received a person familiar with PDB discussions, which, in addition to the new things that day, has been described as the "best" highlight of the previous week.

According to two sources, questions about whether Gabbard could politicize the intelligence process, especially when her chief of staff, Joe Kent, asked analysts to revise the assessment of the Venezuelan criminal gang, which seemed to undermine Trump's immigration policy, a discussion of potential changes in the PDB.

In the initial intelligence assessment, which contradicted Trump's assertions, two senior officials were recently fired under the guidance of the Venezuelan regime led by Nicolás Maduro. Trump cited the regime's claim to relationship with the cartel as he cited the rarely used 1798 law, Alien Enemies Act, to expel those suspected of becoming members of the gang without standard due process.

It is common for intelligence leaders to set their staff in place, but the move involves Congressional Democrats who have questioned Gabbard's more stringent efforts to reach Trump.

"The workforce can only conclude that their work depends on producing an analysis consistent with the president's political agenda, not real and apolitical," Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut, the top Democratic Party of the House Intelligence Committee, said in a statement.

A government official had previously told NBC News that the two officials were fired “because they could not provide impartial intelligence.”
