President Donald Trump on Tuesday defended his decision to allow the General Services Administration (GSA) to coordinate with former Vice President Joe Biden for a transition of power.
“Remember, the GSA has been terrific, and Emily Murphy has done a great job, but the GSA does not determine who the next President of the United States will be,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

Trump said Monday evening he would allow GSA Administrator Emily Murphy to begin the initial steps for a transition of power to Biden after she received a series of threats from angry Biden supporters.
“She has been harassed, threatened, and abused — and I do not want to see this happen to her, her family, or employees of GSA,” Trump said.
The GSA released $6,300,000 in funds for Biden’s team to begin the transition of power.
Establishment media and political figures celebrated the news of Trump’s decision as a sign he was moving to concede the 2020 election despite an ongoing legal challenge.
The Biden team also celebrated the news in a statement, asserting that the GSA administrator had “ascertained” that they were “the apparent winners of the election.”
“Today’s decision is a needed step to begin tackling the challenges facing our nation, including getting the pandemic under control and our economy back on track,” Biden-Harris Transition Executive Director Yohannes Abraham said in a statement.

Poison pill involved. Must reveal all possible conflicts of interest.
6 million dollars.....Yikes!!
This I do not understand.
I do not like the thought of the enemys of home of the brave and land of the free getting any permission to receive information about the security of our country.
Perjury traps are only valid against Republicans.
All BuyMe wants to know is how quickly he can sell favors.
Shouldn’t Anchorbaby Kamala resign her Senate seat now? She is the purported Vice-President-Elect.
FACT:
the United States militia will determine the
next President based upon the votes
on the evening of ELECTION DAY.
===> 10 USC 256
Well, that does it. I’m not buying any more cookies.
(GSA = Girl Scouts of America, right?)
Well unless 5 black robes have the stones to throw this election to the state legislatures or Trump is prepared to cross the Rubicon Slow Joe may yet stumble into the Oval office. I’m patiently waiting for Kraken.
They already have the info. Harris gets briefings as a Senator.
I believe there is a federal law that mandates a Congressman who is VP-elect resign from Congress when the new Congress is sworn in (as did Lyndon Johnson). No reason to resign before then.
There IS no 10 USC 256. Are you referring to a repealed law or something?
Oh, you’re one of those “Trump has really stepped in it this time! It’s all over for him now!” jellyfish.
Have you learned nothing over the past four-and-a-half years?
I second that.
She wants to vote against anything Trump wants for as long as she can I guess. That and it's a paycheck. Nothing forces her to resign. Pence didn't resign as Indiana governor until January 2017 - five days before his term expired.
Hell no. They assign office space.
The Gang of Eight that gets top intelligence briefings includes Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff and Warner. Team Biden just wants the money that comes with an official transition team.
They seem to have more say about it than voters do.
I bet the “gang” is passing everything to the Biden people.
