GSA Tells Biden Campaign: No Transfer Of Power Until A 'Clear, Constitutional Winner' Is Dec

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Jack Phillips

"An ascertainment has not yet been made. GSA and its Administrator will continue to abide by, and fulfill, all requirements under the law," a spokesperson with the GSA told Epoch Times on Monday morning.

The agency said that the GSA administrator, Emily Murphy, will only initiate the transition when a "clear winner is clear based on the process laid out in the Constitution."

"The Administrator's ascertainment is done for the purposes of making services provided by the [Presidential Transition Act] available," the spokesperson added.

"Until an ascertainment is made, the statute allows for the Biden Transition Team to continue to receive the pre-elect services from the government (e.g., limited office space, computers, background investigations for security clearances). GSA has met all statutory requirements under the PTA for this election cycle and will continue to do so."

A number of media outlets projected that Biden, a Democrat, was the winner, although Trump's team has filed lawsuits in key battleground states, alleging irregularities and voter fraud. And in others, vote-counting is still ongoing.

The Epoch Times will not declare a winner of the 2020 presidential election until all results are certified and any legal challenges are resolved. Both candidates have claimed victory in certain states, but it appears increasingly likely that this election will be resolved in the courts.

Trump's campaign has also pushed for recounts and canvasses in several states like Wisconsin and Georgia. Trump's team said they would provide more evidence and announce more lawsuits.

According to Reuters, if the GSA signed off on the transition plan, it would provide Biden's campaign with federal funding for travel and salaries.

Sen. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), the chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Subcommittee on Operations, told Reuters that there needs to be a speedy transition process due to the pandemic.
