Trump's team, which has already announced some members of the incoming president's Cabinet, has yet to sign agreements that would lead to office space and government equipment as well as access to government officials, facilities, and information, according to the White House.
The Trump-Vance transition lawyers continue to constructively engage with the Biden-Harris administration lawyers regarding all agreements contemplated by the Presidential Transition Act said Brian Vance, a spokesperson for the Trump transition, referring to the law that governs the transfer of power.
Valerie Smith Boyd, director of the Partnership for Public Service's Center for Presidential Transition, a non profit that advises incoming administrations, said the agreement underscores the United States only has one president at a time and includes pledges to sign ethics pacts not to profit off information provided in the transition.
That needs to be signed for interaction to begin with federal agencies she said Everything is hinging on that
