Trump's Transition Team Faces Legal and Financial Scrutiny

TL;DR Summary
President-elect Donald Trump's transition team is facing significant challenges due to delays in signing standard ethics and transparency agreements with federal agencies. This has prevented formal contact with agencies, access to secure communications, and FBI background checks for nominees, raising concerns about the administration's readiness to govern and potential national security risks. The delay has also sparked bipartisan concern in Congress and criticism from ethics experts, who emphasize the importance of these agreements for a smooth transition.
