“We will ensure coordinated briefings with them to ensure they’re getting whatever information that they feel they need,” HHS Secretary Alex Azar told reporters in a Nov. 24 news briefing.
The news comes after Emily Murphy, administrator of the General Services Administration, issued a letter Nov. 23 stating she would move ahead with the formal presidential power transition process after weeks of delay, which grants President-elect Biden’s team access to briefings and other government services.
President-elect Biden’s transition team did not respond to a request for comment from CNBC.
