“Right now we just aren’t getting all of the information that we need from the outgoing administration in key national security areas. After Biden beat Trump in the Nov. 3 election, the Democrat’s team only began meeting with administration officials in late November to coordinate the handover. Trump, a Republican, has refused to concede defeat and his administration only authorized cooperation with Biden on Nov.23. Earlier this month, Biden’s team said they had met resistance to their requests for information from some Pentagon officials. And the truth is many of the agencies that are critical to our security have incurred enormous damage,” Biden said after a meeting with his foreign policy team.
