President-elect Donald Trump has blown past an Oct 1 deadline to submit a mandatory ethics pledge, potentially foreshadowing a chaotic handoff between the Biden administration and the second Trump term's team.
The New York Times reports that Trump was required to submit the documents, which outline how the president will avoid conflicts of interest in office and lay out plans for other ethical concerns, more than a month ago. The lack of Trump's adherence to the requirements under the Presidential Transition Act has left him locked out of meetings and briefings with the current administration and heads of government agencies.
