Summary
Sen. Elizabeth Warren accused President-elect Donald Trump and his transition team of violating the Presidential Transition Act by failing to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement, a law Warren helped author.
Her comments follow a CNN report suggesting that Trump’s team has withheld necessary transition agreements from the Biden administration due to conflict-of-interest concerns.
Rep. Jamie Raskin also criticized Trump’s refusal to engage in standard transition protocols, warning it could disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. Trump’s actions break a precedent set by presidential candidates since 2010.
I think we might actually need to implement some sort of grading system for his infractions lest we get desensitized to the steady stream
Edit: I suddenly realize I’m not ready for even hearing “testing legal precedent” for the next 4 years let alone all the other shit going on
