President Donald Trumps acting head of the U.S. Agency for International Development told political appointees that the transition of power to President-elect Joe Biden hasnt started yet.
John Barsa, the acting deputy administrator of USAID, privately told members of his team on Monday that, despite Bidens victory, the transition of power has not started and will not begin until the General Services Administration signs off.
The only official announcement about an election result that matters is from the head of GSA. So until the head of GSA makes a determination as to who won an election, nothing changes, Barsa said, according to a recording of the meeting reviewed by CNBC. There is no transition in place.
A spokesman for USAID did not respond to a request for comment.

I read this morning how they started fund raising and vetting because they knew how badly understaffed the WH has been. They needed to bend time almost and thats for regular daily operations. Tremendous turnover, many empty positions, and 3rd stringers at best at this point.

Very well done. The Dem decision not to canvas, Joe staying in the basement, Trumps campaign burning through money, and Jr.s girlfriend Guilfoyle lap dances and hot tub parties WOW.
