Trump prevented the Pentagon from meeting with Biden’s transition team

President-elect Donald Trump this week prevented President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team from meeting with Pentagon intelligence agencies.

The news is advanced by CNN and quotes a former official familiar with the power transition talks inside the secret.

Biden’s team has yet to meet with officials from the Defense Department’s military intelligence agencies, although all other meetings have gone smoothly, albeit several weeks late.

The Pentagon denies, however, any intention to avoid the president-elect team, who will take office on January 20. According to the defense officer contacted by CNN, they took place on Friday briefings among transitional officers on military affairs, including high-level politics and international security issues, but not on information-related matters.

The Washington Post newspaper was the first to report the problems Biden’s transition team experienced with the Department of Defense transition officers, which are led by someone Trump trusts very much and who is linked to the outgoing president’s efforts by spread conspiracy theories about the president-elect.

The first contacts to initiate meetings between Biden’s team and the information agencies for the transition of power were made last week, according to the source cited by CNN, but earlier this week the Pentagon said it would not. there should be some meeting before any questions they want clarified are presented in advance, as well as a list of the names of people who would be interlocutors on Joe Biden’s side of the team.
