Summary
Donald Trump’s transition team is raising unlimited funds from undisclosed donors, including foreign nationals, bypassing federal transparency rules by refusing to sign agreements with the Biden administration.
This breaks from tradition, sparking concerns about potential conflicts of interest and influence over the incoming administration.
The team has also failed to enable FBI background checks for appointees and has not submitted an ethics plan required for pre-inauguration access to federal agencies.
Critics warn that this secrecy undermines accountability during the critical handover of power.

I think the big takeaway is that the only thing atanding between our government and corruption is “tradition.”
Way too much of how our institutions function was built on the honor system. And now it’s too late to harden those safeguards
What if I told you they were always corrupt, and Trump is just too brazen to hide it?
I wouldn’t completely disagree although I would say he cranked the corruption to 11 more than anyone previously
