Summary

Trump’s transition team is relying on private email servers, raising security concerns among federal officials who fear potential hacking and misuse of sensitive information.

The White House has instructed agencies to limit electronic sharing and instead offer in-person briefings or reading room access for sensitive materials.

Federal employees are wary of transmitting classified or personnel data to unsecured servers, with some requiring transition officials to verify compliance with security standards.

The reliance on private emails is slowing the transfer of government materials ahead of Trump’s inauguration.

    The supreme court has shown over and over again they are completely unwilling to police themselves. Yet we are expected to abide by their decisions? Congress ignoring their oath of office failed to remove Trump during his first term. Instead choosing party over country.

    We are not a new democracy. The fact that so many of our citizens support this insanity is really sad.
