The Biden transition team has declined to give outgoing acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller office space and resources for his transition out of the role, according to a Biden transition official

.

In the past it has been a courtesy to provide transitioning office space and resources to departing secretaries of defense."Given Mr. Miller's acting capacity in that role, as well as reduced staffing and occupation of the Pentagon and auxiliary offices during Covid-19, we deemed it appropriate not to extend that perk in this instance," the official said. Miller was named acting secretary on November 9.CNN has asked the Department of Defense for comment.

The news comes after Miller stated that he"cannot wait to leave this job," according to a transcript released by the Department of Defense. Read MoreThe admission -- during a press gaggle Thursday on his return from a trip to Nebraska, Tennessee and Colorado -- came as the Pentagon said at least 25,000 National Guard were being mobilized in Washington, DC, amid security concerns around this week's inauguration following the deadly riot at the US Capitol.

Shouldn't he be out when Trump's out ? Why would he be hanging out there with no job to do anyway ?

Byeee Felicia!

Bye Felicia

Fair enough, sir. You may have 1 sq. Ft. of floor space per NATIONAL GUARD deployed on Capitol Grounds before the hooligans got bored and left anyways. ZERO sq.ft of course.

That makes sense.

Good. Out at noon!

Eff Chris Miller and everyone associated with compromising DeptofDefense for politics

🤔 Seems turnabout is fair play.

Don't let the door...

Well maybe they shouldn't have stalled on Biden's cabinet positions. Slackers!

Surely he has his own office & as he is leaving all really needs to do is have a meeting with whoever taking over & just walk out the building, what more would he need, yeah I can understand the person taking over might need those things but not him.

Good. Get these Trump ppl, any of whom might be compromised by a foreign government, OUT. Get them out and start putting out their fires.

Good

Couldn’t have that much stuff to pack-he’s only been there like 3 weeks. Pretty sure he was up to nothing good. About time the Democrats get tough.

Play stupid games get stupid prizes.

Oh well

What goes around comes around.

😂 karma's a bitch

They did, however, help him to the door.

Soooo glad Biden stole this election! Back to some sanity in the WH!

good luck

For what ? Just get the fuck out

Classy

THATS WHAT THE FUCK IM TALKING ABOUT! Do them how they would do you Joe! THEY ALL GOTTA GO!

Good!!! That dude sided the seditionists

Good. I need him wherever I'm going.

So much healing -

Unity. Yeah!

Ashley Biden says Melania Trump hasn't reached out to Jill Biden - Business InsiderAshley Biden says Melania Trump hasn't reached out to Jill Biden about a White House meeting before the inauguration Melania is a Petty sore loser right to the end Every time I hear this I think of the dignified and classy way she was treated by the Obamas. She was greeted by them at the door and given a gift from Tiffany’s. And I realize then, what an utter piece of trash she really is.

Will President Joe Biden keep the promises that candidate Joe Biden made to immigrants?Biden's boss Barack Obama was called the 'Deporter in Chief.' Immigrants and their advocates want to see what the new president does on immigration reform. No, Biden for sure will go the way of Macron. They claimed change to win office but we've seen both of their pasts. I'm already seeing some of it with the 8 Year immigration plan and his appointees rejecting the caravan. President Joe Biden doesn't even remember being candidate Joe Biden........ The man thought he was running for Senate.
