.....the Clinton administration restricted information given to then-Gov. George W. Bush. "Don't tell him anything sensitive," Sandy Berger, the national security adviser at the time, reportedly told CIA Deputy Director John McLaughlin. Helgerson wrote that this was the case for "a great many transitions, with the outgoing administration not sure which candidate would accede to office and thus very protective of sensitive and classified information."
That may be especially true now that Trump is likely to be the Republican nominee. Trump has displayed both an ignorance of military and foreign affairs—at one debate he appeared to have no idea what the nuclear triad was—and a willingness to endorse positions wildly out of the foreign policy mainstream, including resuming waterboarding and targeting the families of terrorist suspects. He has also floated the idea of withdrawing from NATO and ending other longtime alliances unless our allies reimburse the United States for military costs. Sitting officials, including the director of the CIA and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have publicly spoken out against Trump's proposed policies, and a recent Huffington Post article described panic among current and former military officers at the prospect of a Trump presidency.
Between that and Trump's penchant for speaking off the cuff, President Barack Obama and his national security team may think long and hard about giving the presumptive GOP nominee access to anything but the bare minimum. As a former senior intelligence official told the Daily Beast, "It's not an unreasonable concern that he'll talk publicly about what's supposed to stay in that room."
