The Department of Defense called out President-elect Joe Biden for falsely claiming that his team has not received all of the information they need for transition. The Pentagon says that U.S. officials have actually given Biden’s team more resources than they initially asked for.
“My team needs a clear picture of our force posture around the world and our operations to deter our enemies. We need full visibility into the budget planning underway at the Defense Department and other agencies in order to avoid any window of confusion or catch up that our adversaries may try to exploit,” Biden said. He continued, “but as I said from the beginning, we have encountered roadblocks from the political leadership at the Department of Defense and the Office of Management and Budget. Right now, we just aren’t getting all the information that we need from the outgoing administration in key national security areas. It’s nothing short, in my view, of irresponsibility.”
Chris Miller, acting Secretary of Defense, slammed the baseless claims, saying that the department has given Biden’s team more access to resources than they initially requested.
“The Department of Defense has conducted 164 interviews with over 400 officials, and provided over 5,000 pages of documents – far more than initially requested by Biden’s transition team,” Miller said in a statement. “DOD’s efforts already surpass those of recent administrations with over three weeks to go and we continue to schedule additional meetings for the remainder of the transition and answer any and all requests for information in our purview,” he added.
“Our DOD political and career officials have been working with the utmost professionalism to support transition activities in a compressed time schedule and they will continue to do so in a transparent and collegial manner that upholds the finest traditions of the Department,” the statement continued. “The American people expect nothing less and that is what I remain committed to.”
Biden made similar claims just last week, saying, “The Defense Department won’t even brief us on many things.”
The Department of Defense said that Biden’s claim was “patently false.” A Department of Defense official said last week, “the department will continue to provide the information and meetings necessary to ensure the continuity of government. As we’ve said, meetings will begin again in early January, and in fact we’ve begun scheduling them.”
Miller also said that the Biden transition team had agreed to pause meetings and briefings until after the holidays. The Biden team claimed this was not accurate, saying, “There was no mutually agreed-upon holiday break.”
Foreign policy and national security are areas where Biden has been criticized, even by former Obama officials.
Defense Secretary under the Obama administration, Robert Gates, said that Biden has “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”

whay are americans putting up with this lying cheating bastaed
Good-glad he’s being exposed for who he is!
I agree. Biden should be briefed twice a day as he cannot remember at 1pm what he was told at 8am. I hope they hand cuff the briefcase with the launch codes to his wrist as he cannot remember where he sat it down. Umm. Actually with his state of mind they shouldn’t give it to him at all. Pathetic.
it figures he’d lie! sleepy joe is a liar, a cheat & a VERY dangerous man!!! He should be in prison, not running for president!!
Joe Biden doesn’t know what has been given to his elected president Harris and I’m sure they don’t want him know
Anything. God help us we are in deep shit with this new administration.
What else would one expect from him.
Just Joey to get some attention.
The transtition of a new US president from the old is vital for our natiinal security.However,the number of interviews, the information is being provided to assure a peaceful transition,in a time where the globe is complex, the c19 virus, the vaccinatiins, global trade and commerce, the mideast and Israel, the Abraham Accords, the rise of militaritism, Russia, China, etc. It just a start, lots of work, research ahead.
Anyone that has actually paid attention to the political spectrum knows he’s always lying. Wouldn’t know the truth if it was in black and white. Just a career politician like most career politicians, regardless of political party.
I will never recognize Biden as my president, the man is an idiot and is not fit to be our president. For 4 years I watched president Trump make this country great. All the democrats did was harass him every step of the way. God help us all if this idiot is allowed to be president, he should be in jail along with his crooked family
If O’BIDEN gets our National defense strategy ,W E A R E D O O M E D !!! That will put the iceing on the Chinese cake for the O’BIDEN FAMILY,they are getting close to the CLITNONE FAMILY as THE MOST CROOKED, The SORRASS FAMILY still LEADS !!!
