Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller ordered a Pentagon-wide halt to cooperation with the transition of President-elect Biden, shocking officials across the Defense Department, senior administration officials tell Axios.
Behind the scenes: A top Biden official was unaware of the directive. Administration officials left open the possibility cooperation would resume after a holiday pause. The officials were unsure what prompted Miller's action, or whether President Trump approved.

Sounds like the enedia scum are ramping up the old O-hole line they created for him when he was found to be completely unaware of what was going on all around him, “Uh...I only found out about it... uh uh... when I read it in the papers.”
