Which is more likely - that Trump made the video up, or that the video Trump saw was classified, and he's just leaked that information to the public?

I don't think Trump is privy to that kind of information at this point so it's much more likely that he just made it up.

The briefings themselves Chen described as a sort of presentation followed by a question-and-answer period. "It is, as I understand it, the same team of briefers from the intelligence community that prepare the briefing for the candidate" as those who do the president's daily briefing, Chen said. "But the level of detail as well as the amount of information covered is not the same. It is meant to be a background briefing more than anything else." The information that's presented is tailored to what the candidate would like to know; as you might expect, there are no handouts.
