The Pentagon has ordered a halt to briefings for the transition team of president-elect Joe Biden, according to reports.
Quoting senior administration officials, Axios reported that acting defence secretary Chris Miller ordered the Pentagon-wide pause on cooperation with the incoming Biden administration in a move that has stunned leadership.
Mr Miller, who was appointed to replace former defence secretary Mark Esper in the immediate aftermath of the election, reportedly issued the order throughout the building to cancel scheduled meetings on Thursday night.
A senior Defence Department official told Axios it was a “simple delay of the last few scheduled meetings until after the new year”.
