Two weeks after his election victory, Donald Trump still has not signed documents needed to formally begin the transfer of power from Biden.

Summary

Two weeks after his 2024 election victory, Donald Trump has yet to sign key transition agreements with the Biden administration and the General Services Administration (GSA), delaying security clearances, briefings, and resources for his incoming team.

The agreements include an ethics pledge aimed at preventing conflicts of interest, which Trump reportedly opposes.

Democrats, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have criticized Trump for potentially violating federal law.

Despite the holdup, Trump is moving forward with Cabinet appointments, though his pick for attorney general, Matt Gaetz, withdrew amid ethics investigations.

    These documents are not related to Trump becoming president, but related to him receiving briefings and stuff prior to taking office as he is the president elect.
