Summary

Donald Trump faces criticism for refusing to sign agreements under the Presidential Transition Act, which mandates funding limits and donor disclosure for a smooth power transfer.

By not signing, Trump avoids donor limits and disclosure rules, enabling secret contributions, including foreign ones, which raise concerns about financial corruption.

Critics, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, warn this undermines transparency and governance, as FBI background checks on nominees are delayed.

The White House confirmed the agreements remain unsigned, with Trump relying on private donors instead of federal funds.

    The penalty is not having funds released, and in place organizations and workers not being able to interface with the transition team. These shitheads do not care anyway though, because the goal is to ransack the country.
