In reply to the discussion: White House: Trump Team Still Hasn't Signed Transition Docs [View all]BumRushDaShow

Under the Presidential Transition Enhancement Act, presidential candidates are required to
develop and publicly release ethics plans for their transition teams prior to the election as
the relevant Senate committee explained when advancing the bill. Former President Trump himself
signed that requirement into law in March 2020. That bipartisanbill, led by Senator Ron Johnson,
was uncontroversial and passed Congress with overwhelming support. The bill adopted much of
my Transition Team Ethics Improvement Act,6 which was developed in response to the
Government Accountability Offices 2017 findings that the first Trump Transition had ignored
ethics standards.
The Trump Transitions ethics plan should have been published on the General Services
Administrations (GSA) website by October 1, 2024.

The Republicans are probably going to commit crimes and claim it's Biden's administration's fault for not briefing them.
