Trump and Biden administrations reach necessary agreement on presidential transition work

ChainCatcher news, on November 26 local time, U.S. President-elect Trump reached a necessary agreement with current President Biden's administration to allow Trump's transition team to coordinate with existing federal staff before his inauguration on January 20.

According to the congressionally authorized agreement, the transition team's staff can collaborate with federal agencies and access non-public information, while government staff are also allowed to communicate with the transition team.

However, Trump refused to sign another agreement with the General Services Administration (GSA). This agreement would have allowed his team to use government-secured office spaces and email accounts, but it required the president-elect to limit donations to $5,000 and publicly disclose the names of those who contributed to his transition efforts.
