Trump Team and Biden White House Formalize Transition Agreement

Donald Trump's transition team has signed an agreement to begin the process of taking over the federal government from the Biden administration, with some deviations from standard practices. The team, led by Susie Wiles, plans to privately fund its operations, avoiding government money and associated restrictions. This approach raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest, as it allows direct donations to the Trump team. The agreement, a pared-down version of the usual memorandum of understanding, suggests a break from traditional ethics and security clearance procedures.
