Trump still won't allow access to information and agencies, he doesn't want anybody to see the mess and start gathering evidence and seeing where the bodies are buried. Don't kid yourself, Joe will be lucky to get access to HHS and vaccine info, DOJ is gonna take awhile, Bill won't be in a hurry to talk to the new AG, if he does, Donald will want to be in the room to see what is said, watch. Where are the SDNY sealed indictments for individual #1 Bill? I'd like my team to look them over.

Biden Transition Live Updates: The G.S.A. Administrator Has Told Biden the Administration Is Ready to Begin the Transition
Michigan certifies election results. Biden is expected to announce his choices for key roles in his cabinet and administration. Some would make history, including the first women to serve as Treasury secretary and director of national intelligence and the first Latino to serve as secretary of homeland security.
RIGHT NOW
Feinstein, under fire by progressives, says she will step down as top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee.
Here’s what you need to know:
Emily Murphy, the administrator of the General Services Administration, on Monday formally designated President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. as the apparent winner of the presidential election, providing federal funds and resources to begin a transition and authorizing his advisers to begin coordinating with Trump administration officials.
The decision came after several more senior Republican lawmakers denounced Ms. Murphy’s delay in allowing the peaceful transfer of power to begin, a delay that Mr. Biden and his top aides said was threatening national security and the ability of the incoming administration to effectively plan for combating the ongoing pandemic.
In her letter, Ms. Murphy said she was “never directly or indirectly pressured by any Executive Branch official — including those who work at the White House or the G.S.A.” She defended her delay by saying that she did not want to get ahead of the constitutional process of counting votes and picking a president.
“I do not think that an agency charged with improving federal procurement and property management should place itself above the constitutionally-based election process,” she wrote in a letter to Mr. Biden’s transition.
