On Tuesday, Trump’s transition team signed an agreement with the White House after months of postponing the traditional transition process – a delay that Biden officials warned could undermine an orderly transfer of power and pose national security risks.
In a statement announcing the agreement, the Trump transition said it will use its own security and information systems, its own office spaces and maintain its own ethics plan.
The transition team said its ethics plan will be posted online in compliance with federal law.
Several of Trump’s picks have vast personal fortunes and deep ties to the private sector.
Trump’s transition team has so far relied instead on internal vetting.
