The Trump transition team has yet to sign two agreements with the federal government to receive transition funding and planning assistance.

Transition co-chairs Linda McMahon and Howard Lutnick are plowing ahead with their own processes for vetting potential political appointees and preparing policy plans.

The decision not to take federal assistance allows them to raise unlimited funds without disclosing their donors, while avoiding oversight from federal bureaucrats.

The Harris transition requires that people who have registered as federal lobbyists in the last year receive approval from the office of general counsel.

Trump allies also harbor distrust of the executive branch, according to two people familiar with their thinking.

Transition experts warn that the launch of the next Trump White House could be severely impaired.
