Trump Transition Team Signs MOU for DOJ Background Checks, Some Nominees Opposed
Dec 3, 2024, 09:28 PM
President-elect Donald Trump's transition team has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Department of Justice, allowing for FBI background checks and security clearances for his nominees and staff. This agreement comes after some initial resistance from the Trump team to bypass the customary background check process. The MOU enables the submission of names for vetting, facilitating the transition process by providing additional insights and access to necessary information for incoming administration members. However, some nominees are reportedly opposed to submitting themselves for FBI checks until the bureau undergoes changes under Trump's chosen director.
