President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday signed a required agreement with President Joe Biden’s White House to allow his transition team to coordinate with the existing federal workforce ahead of taking office on Jan.

Trump's transition will be paid for by private, not public, dollars under a transition agreement reached with the Biden White House.

President-elect Trump's transition team signed a memorandum of understanding with the Biden administration, months after the process was meant to start. Why it matters: The agreement grants the incoming administration access to federal agency information it needs to prepare to take over the government.
