President-elect Joe Biden on Monday said that his transition team is facing ongoing roadblocks. The roadblocks come from President Trump's political leadership at the Pentagon. Several of the blocks also come from the Office of Management and Budget, says Business Insider. "Right now, we just aren't getting all the information we need from the outgoing administration in key national security areas." Biden over the past week has repeatedly expressed concern about the lack of access he's received. The shutout follows alongside the SolarWinds hack and amid tensions with Iran.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday tweeted his decision to end all stimulus talks until after the general election in November. Talks had been going on between Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Pelosi for nearly a week and a half since late September. According to Business Insider, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi didn't take the news well, issuing a blistering statement saying "the White House is in complete disarray." President Trump showed his true colors: putting himself first at the expense of the country, with the full complicity of the GOP Members of Congress. US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca.) Rep. Don Beyer of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Joint Economic Committee, called Trump's move an 'irrational, reckless, and destructive act.'
