Donald Trump, having secured a second term in the White House, has finalized his Cabinet appointments. His transition team has signed an agreement with President Joe Biden's administration to facilitate the transition process, allowing Trump's nominees to begin working with federal government agencies. This agreement includes a commitment from Trump's team to not use taxpayer funds for transition-related costs, opting instead for private funding. Additionally, a U.S. appeals court dismissed Jack Smith's appeal in the criminal case against Trump regarding the illegal retention of classified documents, following the prosecutors' decision to no longer pursue the appeal against the president-elect. The Biden administration has also briefed Trump's senior national security team on the deal.
