US Election: Trump Okays Power Transition

Democrat Joe Biden has been acknowledged by the General Services Administration as the apparent winner of the presidential election on Monday following weeks of inaction.

According to Bloonberg reports, President Donald Trump called on his agencies to cooperate.

Donald Trump said he has instructed Emily Murphy, the General Services Administration chief who heads the government agency meant to ease Biden’s transition into the White House to commence work.

“I am recommending that Emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same.

However, the outgoing president said he would continue to contest the outcome of the election.

The designation triggers a formal transition process, giving Biden and his team access to current agency officials, briefing books and other government resources, including some $6 million in funding.
