Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said on social media that Donald Trump and his transition team are “already breaking the law.”
Warren said she knew Trump was breaking the law because she “wrote the law.”
According to CNN, the delay in signing the transition agreements has prevented Trump’s team from accessing crucial briefings from the Biden administration. The delay is reportedly due to concerns about the ethics pledge, a mandatory agreement under the Presidential Transition Act aimed at preventing conflicts of interest. This pledge applies to all members of the transition team.
Trump’s team has missed two critical deadlines to initiate transition activities with the Biden administration’s General Services Administration and the White House, raising concerns about national security preparedness on Day 1.
Despite warnings from nonpartisan watchdogs and Democrats about potential risks to national security, an adviser to Trump downplayed the missed deadlines, stating it is “not at all a concern.” The adviser also confirmed that Trump intends to sign the ethics pledge but did not provide a timeline.
