In a move that reportedly “shocked” Defense Department officials, Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller ordered Pentagon officials to cancel scheduled meetings with the transition of President-elect Joe Biden.
Axios revealed the cancellation of briefings but noted “officials were unsure what prompted Miller’s action” and they could not determine “whether President Trump approved” of the move.
A source at the Defense Department claims the move was nothing more than one of trying to limit a busy schedule.
“We had fewer than two dozen remaining meetings on the schedule today and next week,” the official told Axios.
“These same senior leaders needed to do their day jobs and were being consumed by transition activities. … With the holidays we are taking a knee for two weeks,” they added.
