Trump’s appointee leading the General Service Administration has yet to certify the election results, which would free up funding for Biden’s transition team.
Trump has declined to provide the Biden team with intelligence reports and other information until the results have been certified, according to Newsweek.
“The president is contesting the election and I would urge him to give intel briefings to Joe Biden,” Graham said.
