Joe Biden Lying About Transition 'Roadblocks' Says OMB Director

Joe Biden and his team are lying about his presidential transition being obstructed, says OMB Director Russ Vought. Despite Biden’s claims that the White House Office of Management and Budget is putting up “roadblocks” to the transition, Vought says there have been 45 meetings since late November.
...
“To your specific criticisms with respect to COVID, as you are aware, your team has been briefed by OMB, as well as the relevant agencies, on Operation Warp Speed and other COVID-relief efforts, including the various funding streams in use for these efforts,” Vought explained in a letter to Biden transition co-chairman Ted Kaufman. “Furthermore, there is record of your team accessing these critical documents just last week.”

“As the record shows, OMB has fully participated in appropriate transition efforts. What we have not done and will not do is use current OMB staff to write the BTT’s legislative policy proposals to dismantle this Administration’s work,” Vought added. “OMB staff are working on this Administration’s policies and will do so until this Administration’s final day in office. Redirecting staff and resources to draft your team’s budget proposals is not an OMB transition responsibility.”

My emphasis. I think that what I highlighted is Biden's actual beef: Trump's OMB people are refusing to work on Biden's policies. But Biden & Crew cannot say that.

I’m also glad to see the term ‘lying’ being used. No need to be polite anymore.

Traitor Joe, the KING of CHRONIC LIARS, will lie every day for four years, perhaps eight years, so you might as well get used to it.  Meanwhile, USA citizens will become more and more NON ESSENTIAL.  There are eight billion foreigners waiting to flood into the USA!

I've seen elsewhere that my not-so-wild guess was correct. Biden & Crew are POed that OMB people aren't currently helping them work up Biden's fiscal proposals.
