A White House administration official says President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team still hasn’t signed the key documents needed to facilitate the transfer of power. Responding to questions from NBC reporter Monica Alba, President Joe Biden’s press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed Thursday that the president-elect’s representatives still have not completed the necessary memoranda of understanding (MOU) to begin the transition process.
“As you know, the president, President Biden, met with the president-elect to show that transition of power and obviously offering any assistance needed to make sure that happens in a way that is peaceful, obviously, and efficient,” said Jean-Pierre.
She added that their teams “continue to stay in touch,” and that Biden’s chief of staff Jeff Zients has “consistently reiterated” a desire to work together and ensure Trump’s people “have what they need.” “Those conversations continue, and we want this to go smoothly, and that’s what we’re trying to get to,” said Jean-Pierre.
In the absence of signed MOUs from Trump’s transition team, the current government cannot begin the process of providing briefings or security clearances for incoming officials.
