拜登團隊說白宮預算辦公室過渡不合作
Biden team says White House budget office not cooperating with transition
2020年12月31日
President-elect Joe Biden's transition team said at a press briefing on Wednesday that the Office of Management and Budget has been limiting support to the incoming administration, accusing the agency of "intentionally generated opacity."
推算總統拜登的過渡團隊在周三的新聞發佈會上說，白宮的管理和預算辦公室一直在限制對要來政府的支持，指責該機構“故意產生不透明性”。
Why it matters: Yohannes Abraham, executive director of the Biden Transition, told reporters "there’s no question" that a lack of analytical support to the transition team will delay Biden's budget planning, and that it has "real-world implications" for national security.
The big picture: The news comes days after Biden said his team has "encountered obstruction" and "roadblocks" from political leadership at the Defense Department, including a lack of briefings.
Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller pushed back on the claims, saying that "DoD political and career officials have been working with the utmost professionalism to support transition activities in a compressed time schedule and they will continue to do so."
OMB's role is to assist in the development and implementation of the federal budget. A delay in budget planning could have ramifications for the U.S. economy, including as it relates to COVID-19.
Axios has reached out to the Office of Management and Budget for comment.
