## Trump still hasn’t signed ethics agreement required for presidential transition

Authored by cnn.com

As president, Trump repeatedly came under fire from ethics groups for potential conflicts of interest relating to his businesses and brands.

The holdup revolves in part around the mandatory agreement over ethics issues.

A source familiar with the process acknowledged that details are still being worked out with the Biden administration regarding the ethics agreement, which is required by law under the Presidential Transition Act and which applies to all members of the transition team.

Updates to that bill requiring the ethics pledge were introduced by Trump ally Sen. Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, and signed into law by Trump himself in March 2020.

The source would not expand further on the Trump team’s concerns over the ethics pledge.

The Trump adviser told CNN the president-elect intends to sign the ethics pledge, but said the transition team’s main priority is selecting and vetting candidates for top Cabinet roles.

Boyd estimated that “hundreds” of Trump officials involved in the transition will need background checks to receive classified briefings. »

Authored by videogameschronicle.com

Scalpers looking to capitalise on the release of the PS5 Pro are struggling to make a profit due to its generally ready availability.

While it appears that the console is generally available for those who want it, however, scalpers haven’t completely abandoned the PS5 Pro.

Instead, it’s the console’s external disc drive, sold separately, that’s in short supply and being scalped. »

So the 36-year-old from Flower Mound, Texas, has found another way to fulfill her philanthropic instinct: giving away a record amount of breastmilk that officials estimate has been enough to nourish hundreds of thousands of premature babies.
