His transition teams have yet to set foot inside a single federal office. Trump claimed the correspondence was collected unlawfully and belonged to the transition team. Leaders of the Trump transition said days before the election that they planned to sign the agreements with the GSA and the White House and were negotiating details with the Biden administration.

A top U.S. envoy met with Lebanese officials for a second day, continuing an unusually long visit amid cautious optimism over a potential cease-fire agreement in the war between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
