Current and former Trump administration officials have privately reached out to President-elect Joe Biden's transition team even as President Donald Trump continues to refuse defeat and falsely claim victory, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Two Biden transition officials said Wednesday that it was only a few current and former Trump administration officials, and they described it as "not a big deal." However, it suggests there are people in Trump's orbit who believe Biden will be the next president even if Trump refuses to concede and his legal team mounts meritless lawsuits to challenge the results in several states.
The news was first reported by CNN.
The officials stressed that the outreach is not in any way a replacement for the national security and Covid-19 briefings the Trump administration refuses to provide Biden's teams.
Trump's refusal to concede has delayed the General Services Administration from certifying Biden's transition, creating a delay that has blocked Biden's team from starting the orderly process of taking over the expansive federal bureaucracy.
Kate Bedingfield, a spokesperson for the Biden transition team, said in a statement Wednesday that despite the outreach, the GSA still needs to certify the transition.
"It requires more than former officials choosing to step forward and be helpful to ensure a smooth transition of power," she said. "GSA should follow the law and ascertain the results of the election so that Americans get a smooth and effective handoff between administrations."

If they are “current”, they need to be “former”—now!
I call Biden the prisoner-elect.
You notice they never give names. So to me it’s just more Brain dead Joe and that Harris woman BS.
Yep. This story has legs, but Hunter's laptop was "not verified".
Well if they are wanting to be with team Biden, Pedo Joe, and Perv Hunter, they are criminals now, or wannabe’s.
They fear a "reconciliation court" which the Democrats have already threatened against Trump supporters:
Bill Clinton’s Labor Secretary Robert B. “Third” Reich tweeted: “When this nightmare is over, we need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It would erase Trump’s lies, comfort those who have been harmed by his hatefulness, and name every official, politician, executive, and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe.”These people aren't kidding.

When they are describing Republicans as being duplicitous and disloyal to Trump I tend to believe them. It's about the only thing they get right.
He isn’t the President Elect.
The news calling it doesn’t mean it has been called.
meritless lawsuits?
Huh?
