President-elect Donald Trump is bucking some of the ethics and security protocols in the Presidential Transition Act of 1963 — opting to privately bankroll Trump’s transition effort and thus far avoiding an agreement with the FBI for background checks.

President-elect Donald Trump’s team submitted an ethics plan guiding the conduct of its members throughout the transition period that does not appear to include provisions for one key member of the team: the president himself.

U.S. President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump have yet to start the formal transition process between administrations, which normally takes months and involves the executive branch sharing information with incoming officials on everything from foreign policy to ongoing investigations.
