After accepting that a formal transition should begin for President-elect Joe Biden to take office, U.S. President Donald Trump has vowed not to concede to his Democratic rival following the just concluded presidential election.
Trump, in a tweet on Tuesday morning, said that his legal team was moving with full speed ahead to contest the election which he described as the most corrupt in America’s political history.
He wrote; “What does GSA being allowed to preliminarily work with the Dems have to do with continuing to pursue our various cases on what will go down as the most corrupt election in American political history?
“We are moving full speed ahead. Will never concede to fake ballots & Dominion,” Trump added.
In a statement on Tuesday, the US General Services Administration (GSA), an independent agency, ascertained that Biden was the “apparent winner” of the election and informed Biden that his transition – leading up to a January 20 swearing-in – could officially begin.
It came as Mr Biden’s victory in the state of Michigan was officially certified, a major blow to Mr Trump.
The GSA announcement means the president-elect now has access to top security briefings, office space and government officials as he prepares to take office on 20 January.
His transition website has now changed to a US government domain.
He will begin announcing the people he wants in the top jobs in his cabinet on Tuesday.
