Washington (AP) After weeks of deliberation, the transition team for President-elect Donald Trump inked a deal Tuesday for the Justice Department to run background checks on his appointees and nominees.
In order to acquire classified information about active federal initiatives, the step enables Trump transition advisers and potential administration personnel to receive security clearances prior to Inauguration Day. Additionally, it enables senators to do the background checks they choose before casting their votes on nominations.
According to Susie Wiles, Trump’s nominee for White House chief of staff, the agreement with the Department of Justice will guarantee that President Trump and his team are prepared on Day 1 to start implementing the America First Agenda that was overwhelmingly endorsed by our country on Election Day.
