President Donald Trump’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) director, Russell Vought, on Dec. 31 defended his agency’s handling of requests from the transition team of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, denying claims that the Trump administration is obstructing the transition process.
In a letter addressed to the head of Biden’s transition team, Ted Kaufman, Vought said he wanted to “correct several false statements” and noted that his agency will not allow current OMB staff to write Biden policy proposals “to dismantle this administration’s work.”
