From that warning in November by DIA’s National Center for Medical Intelligence, sources described repeated briefings through December for policy-makers and decision-makers as well as the National Security Council at the White House. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/intelligence-report-warned-coronavirus-crisis-early-november-sources/story?id=70031273

All of that culminated with a detailed explanation of the problem that appeared in the President’s Daily Brief of intelligence matters in early January. For something to have been in the PDB, it would have had to go through weeks of vetting and analysis.

Lots of interest today in DIA reporting provided to policymakers in Nov/Dec/Jan about #Coronavirus but @JoshMargolin and I also reported there was other intelligence circulating about what was really going on in China and that PRC did not have control of the spreading contagion.
