WASHINGTON \u2014 With less than two months to go until his inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump will sign an overdue agreement with the Biden White House meant to help smooth the transition between incoming and outgoing administrations.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s new Chief of Staff Susie Wiles issued a statement Tuesday saying now that Trump\u2019s Cabinet choices are made, the president-elect \u201cis entering the next phase of his administration\u2019s transition by executing a Memorandum of Understanding with President Joe Biden\u2019s White House.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis engagement allows our intended Cabinet nominees to begin critical preparations, including the deployment of landing teams to every department and agency, and complete the orderly transition of power,\u201d Wiles said.<\/p>\n

Two agreements<\/h4>\n

The negotiated agreement with the White House to establish a presidential candidate\u2019s access to federal agencies as well as an ethics code was due by Oct. 1.<\/p>\n

Additionally, an agreement with the U.S. General Services Administration to access government-provided transition funding, office space and other resources was due by Sept. 1.<\/p>\n

The items are required under the Presidential Transition Act of 1963, and its later amendments as recently as\u00a02019<\/a>. A condition of the agreements, and the funding they release, is that nominees must disclose all transition fundraising dollars, which are kept separate from campaign funds. The law caps individual contributions to transitions at $5,000.<\/p>\n

Presidential transition funds are usually a combination of private funding and federally appropriated dollars. For example, in 2020 and 2021, Congress provided just under $20 million,\u00a0according<\/a> to the Center for Presidential Transition.<\/p>\n

Accompanying Wiles\u2019 statement Tuesday were seven bullet points summarizing\u00a0the transition agreement<\/a> with the White House. According to the summary, Trump\u2019s team will wholly privately fund its transition \u201cto save taxpayers\u2019 hard-earned money\u201d and will later disclose the list of contributions.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s team also announced it will not use government buildings or technology available for transition operations and instead will be a \u201cself-sufficient organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

Working from Florida<\/h4>\n

The president-elect and his personnel have been conducting meetings and announcing Cabinet picks from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. The team\u2019s code of ethical conduct\u00a0published<\/a> Tuesday on the GSA website appears under the name \u201cTrump Vance 2025 Transition, Inc.\u201d<\/p>\n

The president-elect\u2019s Tuesday press release stated that the Trump-Vance transition\u2019s ethics plan \u201cwill meet the requirements for personnel to seamlessly move into the Trump Administration.\u201d<\/p>\n

By law, the ethics plan must be publicly available and must disclose whether lobbyists or foreign agents are part of the transition team and identify any other conflicts of interests by those involved, as well as commitments to keep nonpublic government information confidential and not to use insider knowledge learned during the transition for personal gain.<\/p>\n

The Trump-Vance team did not provide any additional portions of the agreement with the White House upon request from States Newsroom.<\/p>\n

The transition team did not respond to a request for a timeline of when transition contributions will be made public.<\/p>\n
