Summary

Two weeks after his 2024 election victory, Donald Trump has yet to sign key transition agreements with the Biden administration and the General Services Administration (GSA), delaying security clearances, briefings, and resources for his incoming team.

The agreements include an ethics pledge aimed at preventing conflicts of interest, which Trump reportedly opposes.

Democrats, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have criticized Trump for potentially violating federal law.

Despite the holdup, Trump is moving forward with Cabinet appointments, though his pick for attorney general, Matt Gaetz, withdrew amid ethics investigations.

    There is no transition. This is being operated as a hostile takeover.

      If you don’t sign any of the documents pertaining to ethics or taking an oath to protect the constitution you can’t be charged with failing to uphold those oaths and ethics I suppose.
