December 13, 2024
Washington, D.C. (December 13, 2024)— Today, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, sent a letter to the co-chairs of the Trump-Vance Transition requesting that they commit immediately to requiring that all nominees submit to a full vetting by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The letter comes amid media reports that the Transition may still be planning to skirt traditional FBI vetting by outsourcing to private firms, and that some incoming personnel may be refusing to undergo vetting before the Trump Administration takes office. Media reports also indicate that President-Elect Trump could be planning to grant broad security clearances on day one without any of the standard vetting.
