Washington (CNN)Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will receive their government intelligence briefing within days, even as each party argues the other's nominee is not worthy of receiving sensitive information, a US intelligence official familiar with the process confirmed to CNN Thursday.

The briefings could be held at any time after Clinton accepts the nomination Thursday night but are mostly likely to begin as soon as next week once arrangements about timing and a secure government location are made.

The Republican and Democratic vice presidential candidates, Mike Pence and Tim Kaine, will also receive briefings.

"Nominees for president and vice president receive these classified briefings by virtue of their status as candidates and do not require separate security clearances before the briefings," the official said.

1. Vibes that Trump can keep from blurting the secrets out publicly.

3. A while back saw a piece on Maddow about this

Yes Intel personnel concerned about Trumps big mouth.

An expert said they could build breifings that were based on publically available articles. Was still a breifing but did not contain confidential intel

2. Tell Donald the secrets!!!

I hope they had Trump sign a confidentiality agreement, because with his big mouth he's sure to share something from the briefings, and then what will the Republican bullshit artists do?

4. I am guessing that these briefings will be of a non-sensitive nature.

For trump, it will be a primer on national security because he is so ignorant. The other three candidates will be already know "this stuff". Let us hope they don't let him in on it.
