President Trump issued a statement Monday evening authorizing
his administration to begin “initial protocols” for the Biden
transition team while at the same time not conceding the
election.

Trump posted his statement to Twitter after GSA Administrator
Emily Murphy sent a letter to Democrat presidential nominee
former Vice President Joe Biden Monday afternoon informing him she
was authorizing access to government funds by his transition team.
In the letter, Murphy spoke of the “thousands” of threats she
says she received as a result of her decision to hold off approving
the Biden transition funds while the election was being contested
by Trump and not certified by the states. Murphy said she made her
decision today citing “recent developments involving legal
challenges and certifications of election results.”
This is the first official action by Trump acknowledging the
possibility of losing the election to Biden.
President Trump: “I want to thank Emily Murphy at GSA
for her steadfast dedication and loyalty to our Country. She has
been harassed, threatened, and abused – and I do not want to see
this happen to her, her family, or employees of GSA. Our case
STRONGLY continues, we will keep up the good…fight, and I believe
we will prevail! Nevertheless, in the best interest of our Country,
I am recommending that Emily and her team do what needs to be done
with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the
same.”
