Long-awaited security deal finally moves Trump team forward
After weeks of hold-up‚ Trumpʼs transition group signs key document with Justice Department. This move opens door for security checks of future staff and cabinet picks
Back in 2016 Donald Trumpʼs pre-white house team made a much-needed step forward: they signed off on important paperwork with the DOJ
The long-delayed agreement (which took several weeks to finalize) lets the justice department start checking backgrounds of people picked for government jobs. Its important because these future staffers need special access to secret info before jan 20th — the day Trump takes office
The deal helps in two main ways:
* Lets transition workers get security clearances
* Makes classified data available for planning
* Helps senate look into cabinet picks backgrounds
The move fixes a big hold-up in the switch-over process; future administration members cant do their jobs properly without access to sensitive government data. The agreement means Trumpʼs chosen nominees who need senate approval can now move ahead with required background investigations‚ making the whole process more smooth and organized
