Dems demand GSA chief explain delay in certifying Biden's win
Four House committee chairs demanded that the head of the agency that oversees the presidential transition brief them immediately as to why she refuses to formally kickstart the process by affirming that President-elect Joe Biden won the election.
The letter to General Services Administration chief Emily Murphy was signed by Oversight Committee Chair Carolyn Maloney, Appropriations Committee Chair Nita Lowey, as well as Gerry Connolly and Mike Quigley, who are subcommittee chairs.
"Your actions in blocking transition activities required under the law are having grave effects, including undermining the orderly transfer of power, impairing the incoming Administration's ability to respond to the coronavirus pandemic, hampering its ability to address our nation's dire economic crisis, and endangering our national security," the letter said. The chairs asked that Murphy personally brief them by no later than November 23.
Murphy has thus far refused to sign a letter of "ascertainment" confirming that Mr. Biden was the victor in the election. Until Murphy begins the process, the Biden transition team will not be able to meet with current government agency officials to prepare for the transition or utilize the $6.3 million allocated for the process.
