After a lengthy delay, President-elect Trump has signed off on a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the White House, which will allow officials to meet with counterparts at departments and agencies ahead of the January transition of power.

GSA traditionally provides IT services that facilitate “secure connectivity and collaboration” between transition teams and the federal government,” but the Trump team has chosen to forgo using them.

The president-elect's team refused to sign agreements to receive federal transition funding or allow the FBI to process security clearances for its officials.
