After a prolonged delay and amidst concerns from critics, Trump has finally signed a transition agreement with the Biden administration. The signed memorandum formalizes the next phase of the transition process, although it includes notable omissions concerning key ethics documents and FBI clearances for incoming officials. This break from traditional protocols has raised eyebrows, particularly among lawmakers like Elizabeth Warren, who criticized the lack of transparency regarding funding sources for Trump’s transition team. Despite protests from the Biden camp regarding the refusal to disclose critical information, the Trump team is moving forward, emphasizing that they are prepared to integrate into government operations, even as questions about their adherence to established norms linger.
