Sorry Kids —- There Will be NO intelligence briefing before you cast your Electoral College votes on Monday.
Your candidate lost.
Get used to it.
Democrat electors who support Hillary Clinton asked for the briefing in an open letter to James Clapper earlier this month.
The group was led by Democrat Nancy Pelosi’s daughter.
The losing Clinton Campaign wanted the briefing.

CNN reported:
Electoral College electors will not receive an intelligence briefing on Russian interference in the 2016 election, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said Friday.
In a statement, DNI pointed to an October 7 announcement by US intelligence agencies that said they were “confident” of Russia’s involvement in efforts to hack information related to the election.
The statement also said that the intelligence community will brief Congress and make the findings available to the public once the review of potential foreign interference in elections since 2008 is available.
Earlier this month, a group of electors for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton — a minority among the 538 men and women who will officially vote for President-elect Donald Trump as president on Monday — called for a briefing ahead of the vote in an open letter to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
