Pentagon Abruptly Halts Biden Transition Briefings
December 18th, 2020Via: ZeroHedge:
Biden’s team is directly contradicting an earlier statement by Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller which sought to severely downplay the controversy, claiming Biden transition officials had agreed to a holiday “break” in DoD intelligence briefings. “There was no mutually agreed upon holiday break” for transition briefings, Biden’s spokesman Yohannes Abraham has stated pushing back against Miller’s explanation.
“We were concerned to learn this week about an abrupt halt” in cooperation, Biden’s team said at a Friday briefing, and underscored the alarming move reflects “isolated resistance in some quarters, including from political appointees within the Department of Defense.”
It comes after Trump admin officials were reportedly enraged over alleged leaks from the Biden transition team designed to embarrass Trump politically.
