Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy joins Special Report with the latest from Wilmington, Del.
Big Tech employees have landed top posts on the Biden-Harris transition team and Republicans are raising concerns that the additions to the team and the next administration are evidence that Silicon Valley works hand in glove with Democratic politicians.
At least nine different Biden transition team members or advisers previously held positions at Facebook, Google or Twitter. And several transition team members worked in the Obama administration before joining one of the tech giants and then later reentering politics as part of the Biden team.
Facebook’s former director and associate general counsel of strategic response, Rachel Liebner, is serving on the transition s review team for the intelligence community. Liebner was a deputy general counsel at the CIA during the Obama administration before joining Facebook.
