Donald Trump has received his first classified intelligence briefing, a privilege reserved for presidential candidates from the two main US political parties, according to ABC News.
The Republican nominee attended the briefing — organized by the office of the director of national intelligence — in secure rooms of the FBI's New York office.
The sessions, designed to prepare candidates for the nation's highest office in the event they win November's general election, provide information about global threats against the United States.
Intelligence officials brief the major-party US presidential candidates on foreign policy and national security issues but do not disclose ultra-sensitive information about ongoing US undercover operations, methods or the identities of intelligence sources.
Two of Trump's leading advisors, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and retired General Michael Flynn, a former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, also took part.
During an interview with Fox News broadcast ahead of the meeting, Trump said he had scant trust in the US intelligence community.
"Not so much from the people that have been doing it for our country," he said.
