WASHINGTON – Two weeks after his election victory, President-elect Donald Trump still has not signed legal documents needed to formally begin the transition of power from the Biden administration, the White House said Thursday.

Trump has not agreed to memorandums of understanding with the General Service Administration, which includes an ethics policy.

"Our teams continue to stay in touch," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at a press briefing.

"As of now, the Trump-Vance transition team has not yet entered into the agreements with the White House and the General Service Administration.".

Trump's transition team did not provide an explanation for the president-elect not signing the transition agreements.

CNN reported Trump has concerns about the mandatory ethics pledge in the memorandums of understanding that includes avoiding conflicts of interest in the White House.

Despite not formalizing the transition of power, Trump has moved aggressively to assemble members of his next White House staff and Cabinet. »
