Summary
Donald Trump’s transition team has been barred from accessing federal agencies due to delays in signing standard ethics and transparency agreements, leaving Cabinet nominees without access to classified or non-public data.
This standoff hampers preparation for national security, workforce, and budget issues as the administration readies for the January 20 inauguration.
Concerns include safeguarding against threats like conflicts abroad and domestic crises, such as avian flu.
The delays also risk derailing nominee confirmations, with scrutiny over FBI background checks and controversies involving key picks like Pete Hegseth and Matt Gaetz.
Maybe letting this guy think the rules somehow don’t apply to him wasn’t such a good idea after all.
“Trump learned his lesson.”
— Susan Collins
I hate her more each day.
She never said what lesson he had learned.
I mean, they didn’t let him think, they told him outright the rules didn’t apply to him
I mean, they don’t. Clearly.
