After Weeks Of Trying To Overturn Election, Trump Takes Credit For Approving Biden Transition

The GSAs Emily Murphy finally moved forward on starting the transition process on Monday as the curtains continue to close on Donald Trumps presidency.
The move comes 20 days after the presidential election and more than two weeks after Joe Biden was declared the president-elect, an unprecedented delay in the transition process.
Trump responded to the news by taking credit and essentially claiming that it was his idea to allow the transition process to move forward.
I am recommending that Emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same, Trump said.

More than 100 business leaders who plan to ask the Trump administration to immediately allow the presidential transition to begin have also discussed cutting off donations to Senate Republicans facing runoff elections to force the party's hand.
The executives plan to send a letter on Monday demanding that Emily Murphy, the head of the General Services Administration, stop blocking President-elect Joe Biden's transition team's work, according to The New York Times.
"Every day that an orderly presidential transition process is delayed, our democracy grows weaker in the eyes of our own citizens and the nation's stature on the global stage is diminished," the executives said in a draft letter reviewed by The Times. "Withholding resources and vital information from an incoming administration puts the public and economic health and security of America at risk."
Some of the executives have "also discussed withholding campaign donations from the two Republican Senate candidates in Georgia unless party leaders agree to push for a presidential transition," according to the report.

himself. I'm glad big business is trying to stop the nonesense. Worried they will fund the two Georgia insider information stock trading GOP peaches now. This is good and bad news. But if Trump is not in control of the narrative today and has to lie about it, it is a good day.
