Faculty Fellow Michael Desch was quoted in an ABC News article about Trump's secretive intelligence advisory board. He said, in part, that the makeup of the Intelligence Advisory Board, or – a secretive panel whose members are chosen by the president – isn't the best he's studied, but it isn't the worst, either.

Desch is co-author of the book Privileged and Confidential: The Secret History of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board. Read more of his assessment of Donald Trump's PIAB in the August 28 ABC News report.
