President-elect Donald Trump's transition team has signed a memorandum of understanding with the White House, ensuring an orderly transition of power in January. The team will utilize private US-based donors and an existing ethics plan to avoid using taxpayers' money or federal resources, allowing for critical preparations to be initiated.
US President-elect Donald Trump ’s transition team said Monday it had signed a long-stalled memorandum of understanding with the White House to pave the way for the Republican to take office in January.
An “existing ethics plan” will provide guidance on propriety — although it has not yet been made public — and the transition “will not require additional government and bureaucratic oversight,” it said. The United States prides itself on its tradition of a smooth handover of power from one president to the next but it is a complex process requiring the recruitment of potentially thousands of political appointees and costs millions of dollars.
Trump’s first term transition disclosed raising $6.5 million and receiving $2.4 million from the government. Some $1.8 million of that went to legal fees spent after Trump entered the White House, however, US media reported.
