Trump Team Faces Criticism for Delaying Transition Agreements

Rep. Jamie Raskin warns that Trump's refusal to sign transition MOUs could threaten a smooth transfer of power.

The Trump campaign has missed key deadlines to sign transition memoranda of understanding with the General Services Administration and the White House.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, a top Democrat, expressed concerns about the potential risks to national security and government continuity.
The delay in signing agreements breaks a precedent set by presidential candidates since 2010, raising alarms among nonpartisan experts and Democrats.
Raskin suggests the Trump team's actions may be motivated by an intent to circumvent fundraising and ethics rules.
The lack of signed agreements could hinder the incoming administration's ability to effectively govern and address threats from day one.
