Biden's Transition Team Threatens Legal Action Against GSA

Joe Biden's transition team is threatening to use legal action or "other options" if the General Services Administration refuses to "promptly ascertain Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as president-elect and vice president-elect," according to a team official.

 

"There are a number of options on the table; legal action is certainly a possibility, but there are other options as well that we're considering," a transition official told reporters during a conference call Monday night when asked about pushing for cooperation through the courts, reports ABC News.

 

The election results remain under contention, with President Donald Trump insisting that fraud was involved and that Biden has not yet legally won the race. GSA Administrator Emily Murphy, a 2017 Trump appointee, has not made a determination about who won, and the GSA is not yet allowing Bidens' team to access resources needed for the transition process.

 

The resources include access to $6.3 million appropriated by Congress to support the transition. The GSAs refusal also blocks the Biden team from classified information for incoming national security officials, security clearances and background investigations for possible nominees or officials, and office space and equipment.

 

In addition, with the GSA refusing to acknowledge Biden as the winner, the team is not able to hold State Department-facilitated calls with foreign leaders who are already starting to contact the former vice president, the team claims.

 

The Office of the Director for National Intelligence confirmed in a statement to ABC News that it has not yet made contact with Biden's team because the GSA has not ascertained him the race's winner.

 

"ODNI follows the statutory direction provided in the Presidential Transition Act, which requires ascertainment of the candidate by the administrator of GSA prior to supporting a potential presidential transition," a spokesman said in the statement. "ODNI would not have contact with any transition team until notified by the GSA Administrator."

Gizzi: Is FBI's Wray Next to Be Fired?

https://www.newsmax.com/john-gizzi/trump-esper-wray-fbi/2020/11/10/id/996308/

 

Within hours of President Trumpโ€™s firing of Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, speculation mounted in official Washington that the president would take similar action and dismiss FBI Director Christopher Wray.

 

โ€œWray is gone โ€” out of here,โ€ a Justice Department source who requested anonymity told Newsmax a week before the election.

 

At the time, the source felt Trump would be reelected and then immediately proceed with removal of officials with whom he has had clashes.

 

Last May, Trump made clear his disappointment with Wray when he was asked by โ€œ Fox Newsโ€ about Wrayโ€™s role in the investigation of Russian involvement in the U.S. election that led to retired Gen. Michael Flynnโ€™s resignation from his position as White House national security advisor and his three-years-long legal ordeal.

 

โ€œItโ€™s disappointing,โ€ replied Trump, โ€œLetโ€™s see what happens with him. The jury is still out.โ€

 

The FBI director is appointed to a ten-year term, but can be removed by the president. In May of โ€˜17, Trump fired then-Director James Comey over his handling of investigations into Flynn and alleged Russian involvement in the 2016 election.

 

Among names mentioned as replacements for Wray are Joseph Pistole, 63, president of Anderson University (Ind.) and a former FBI agent himself, and Jeff Jensen, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri, who drew national attention for orchestrating the decision not to prosecute Flynn.
