Summary

Despite concerns over Donald Trump’s past mishandling of classified information, including an FBI raid at his home in 2022, the Biden Administration is preparing to grant him access to national security briefings as part of a standard presidential transition.

This approach aligns with tradition, although intelligence experts are apprehensive, given Trump’s history of allegedly revealing sensitive information, notably to Russian officials.

Trump’s team is negotiating terms for office space and transition protocols but previously delayed signing a formal agreement with the General Services Administration.

Some Trump advisers have proposed bypassing standard security clearance procedures for incoming staff.

    There was a small glimmer of hope until he won the election.

      There supposed to be his sentencing on 26th, but after he won I doubt it will be anything.

      Edit: after looking more into it, looks like he is appealing that president elect has the same rights to do any crime as president based not on Constitution or any law but on the DOJ memo.

        Nothing will come of that sentencing. Not even a fine.
