The Biden transition team on Friday flatly denied the Pentagon’s claim that transition meetings had stopped for a mutually agreed-upon “holiday pause.”
Miller said “After the mutually-agreed upon holiday pause, which begins tomorrow, we will continue with the transition and rescheduled meetings from today.”
But Abraham, at the press briefing soon after, flatly denied that there was any agreement about a break.
In a statement to TPM and others after that report, Miller said “After the mutually-agreed upon holiday pause, which begins tomorrow, we will continue with the transition and rescheduled meetings from today.”
But Abraham, at the press briefing soon after, flatly denied that there was any agreement about a break.
“Let me be clear: There was no mutually agreed-upon holiday break,” he said.
Miller: “I meant that the holiday pause was mutually-agreed upon by the members of my team.”
Shorter Trumpers: “Well, that was the plan, until they blabbed it to everyone.” (And we would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn’t been for those pesky people who think this stuff matters.)
