WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has denied cutting off presumptive President-Elect Joe Biden from receiving transition briefings, according to a statement released by the Department of Defense.
In a statement, acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller expressed that it was a mutually-agreed upon ‘holiday pause.’
“After the mutually-agreed upon holiday pause, which begins tomorrow, we will continue with the transition and rescheduled meetings from today,” Miller stated. “Again, I remain committed to a full and transparent transition – this is what our nation expects and the DoD will deliver AS IT ALWAYS HAS.”
Despite numerous reports alleging Biden was abruptly denied further briefings, the Pentagon firmly expressed that such allegations are false.
