A top Republican lawmaker said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is playing a “dangerous” kind of political game by suggesting that Donald Trump be denied intelligence briefings.

“It’s disturbing that Harry Reid is pressuring intelligence agencies to inject politics into their briefings. It is the duty of the intelligence community to present information and analysis to policymakers free from political bias,” Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said in a Thursday statement.
