Whoever wins the presidential race on Nov. 5 will have 76 days to complete a complicated and massive effort to take over the federal government from outgoing President Joe Biden. That process has already begun for Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. While most of the attention will fall on what the president-elect is doing, some scrutiny may fall on Biden’s transition out of office, including on how his team handles classified documents. In this series, the Washington Examiner will look at the challenges ahead for all three leaders’ transitions. Part 3 will look at how Trump and Biden’s classified documents scandals have sown discord over the traditional transition process.

President Joe Biden‘s handling of classified documents during his transition out of office could draw scrutiny, given the Justice Department’s pursuit of his predecessor over documents taken during the last outgoing transition and his own history of mishandling classified material.
