by Vijaya ChandrasomaThe Biden transition finally started last week, with President Trump’s tacit and grudging approval. The U.S. Government Services Administration was instructed to release funds earmarked for the efficient transfer of power to the Biden administration. Approval had also been given for communication of the Trump medical officials and the Biden transition team. Biden is now receiving the Presidential Daily Briefings, a top-secret document given each morning to the president of the United States. Klain, a veteran democrat who served as chief of staff to two vice-presidents, Gore and Biden, has been a confidante and top aide to Biden since the 1980s.
