Biden, Harris briefed by national security experts amid transition obstacles
Source: The Hill
President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris Tuesday received a briefing from national security experts Tuesday as President Trump still refuses to concede and his administration bars them from viewing classified intelligence.
The briefing, conducted in Wilmington, Del., comes as Biden and Harris look to get up to speed on the country's top security issues even as the General Services Administration (GSA) refuses to certify them as the victors of the White House race, legally prohibiting members of their transition from reviewing classified material and meeting with administration officials as they get ready to take over the White House.
Biden's team said in a readout of the briefing that the experts briefed him and Harris on "the diplomatic, defense, and intelligence challenges the administration will inherit on day one, focusing on both the strategic landscape as well as the readiness of our foreign policy and national security departments and agencies."
"The broader Transition team will continue to hear from distinguished former practitioners, especially as the lack of GSA ascertainment prevents the Transition from meeting with and hearing from current Executive Branch officials, including on pressing matters of national security and foreign policy," it added.
