Joe Biden’s team is considering legal action over the ongoing refusal to grant the president-elect a formal transition into the White House, according to reports.
Amid President Trump’s refusal to concede the election, the federal agency needed to green-light his transition has also held back from declaring him the victor — a move usually made within 24 hours.
The delay by the General Services Administration (GSA) freezes the Biden team out of access to $6.3 million in federal funding, classified information and security clearances or background checks for potential cabinet nominees, Axios noted. It also prevents access to the State Department, which facilitates calls between foreign leaders, Fox News said.
“There’s a number of levers on the table and all options are certainly available,†a Biden transition official told reporters.
Legal action is “certainly a possibility,†said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, according to the Associated Press.
