Donald J. Trump's campaign has not engaged in the presidential transition process, missing deadlines for key agreements and skipping national security briefings, signaling a significant break from traditional practices.
Mr. Trump's approach departs from that of previous candidates, guided by his deep suspicion and mistrust of the government he seeks to lead. This refusal allows circumvention of fundraising rules.
Trump's transition team claims negotiations with the Biden administration are ongoing. Co-chairs Howard Lutnick and Linda McMahon assert that any claims of non-engagement are false and misleading.
The failure to sign an ethics plan undermines the planning for a potential new administration, complicating the essential transfer of power that typically follows a presidential election.
