The Trump transition team announced on Dec. 3 that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Biden Department of Justice to facilitate background checks and security clearances between the current and incoming administrations.

“This agreement with the Department of Justice will ensure President Trump and his team are ready on Day 1 to begin enacting the America First agenda that an overwhelming majority of our nation supported on Election Day,” said incoming White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles in a statement.
