Facing increasing pressure, President Trump said on Monday he had directed the GSA to begin the process of transferring the government to President-elect Biden. But Trump continues to make baseless allegations about the integrity of the election.

They are 100% correct, but we are fighting hard. Our big lawsuit, which spells out in great detail all of the ballot fraud and more, will soon be filled. RIGGED ELECTION!Until Monday, GSA administrator Emily Murphy had declined to take the formal step to allow the Biden team to begin working with federal agencies to prepare for governing. But, Trump and Murphy faced increasing pressure to kickstart the transition process.

The shift comes as Trump's nearly impossible path to overturning the election outcome looks even more improbable., dismissing the Trump campaign's bid to delay certification of votes in Pennsylvania. Biden leads Trump in the state by more than 81,000 votes.More Republican lawmakers are also calling on Trump to accept the election results.

Senator Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., said Trump should"put the country first and have a prompt and orderly transition."The move by GSA will allow the Biden transition team to access millions of dollars in federal funding, as well as to begin meeting with government agencies to discuss policy ahead of the presidential inauguration Jan. 20, 2021.

No one is president-elect until the electors have voted, or the opponent concedes.

We all witnessed how Trump attack a reporter for only doing his job. At that moment I realized his temper and his bipolar demeanor is dangerous to our country. Even his staff is turning on him why would they put him in such a small table during a conference in front of the world.

Trump ordered GSA to support Biden. Now, we all need to trust his intention in verifying the election integrity.👇👇

🍎🍎I'm with Trump on this... the election is not over... THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE meets DECEMBER 14th to VOTE for the next president and JANUARY 6th 2021 is when the votes will be counted... By CONGRESS... It's in the CONSTITUTION ❤️💪🍎😊 who knows maybe I'll WIN ! 😊 WOMEN matter

Can't erase the election like he can on that par 5 triple bogie. Trump is Fired!

Does GSA work for the administration? Are they not independent? Did they have to wait for his direction

I’m confused. In the GSA letter to Biden it stated that no one was stopping her from starting the process? Now Trump is giving her the OK? Doesn’t that mean Trump was telling her not to start the process?

Baseless! Pure corruption in this election!

AMFAH

People should stop believing his BS

And relents on 8:30 tee time.

MorningEdition

Baseless? AMERICA has Eyes wide open.

Would it be possible to stop talking about Trump’s antics And focus on the future All I want to know about the Trump clan is when will they end up in jail.

Trump is such a child that he's making up lies so he never has to admit he's a loser in the election. sad

They are not baseless. There are many irregularities that are being aggregated during the discovery period. If elected, Biden would be the first illegitimate President in US history.

Trump who?

According to voter rolls in Wayne County there were 1,411,000 registered voters. According to election results 1,406,000 ballots were cast in general election. So only 5,000 voters in Wayne County didn't vote? No way.

Waving the white flag.

Baseless its like npr thinks American testimony is worthless

Maybe all this uncertainty has started to impact his golf game. ConcedeNowTrump

He believes that he is the king of 70 million Americans.

Yes it's perfectly normal for a presidential candidate to win a 1st term election while losing seats in the house and senate! Nothing to see here folks! Move right along. 🙄. Completely baseless. And I have a bridge to sell you!

Trump is a professional liar. He wont stop.

He will continue to undermine public faith in our elections until the day he dies. It will be the one thing history books will credit him for doing during 4 years of national chaos. He is a miserable failure.

How does NPR know they are baseless? Did they do any investigation besides calling up the DNC? Guess what their answer was?

From which authority did you confirm that this is a baseless accusation? If not, then you are creating rumors and misleading public opinion.

🤣🤣🤣 'baseless' The only thing that has been baseless during the Trump Presidency is the attacks on the man himself realDonaldTrump. Hoax after hoax after hoax....

You ran with Russia for over two years with no evidence of anything

Donald Trump is not up for the job these next 2 weeks or next 2 days. The only thing he focused on for the previous 3 months was an election. In November the only thing he could focus on for 3 weeks is the election. a broken man, breaking this country.

So💙

Did we really have such 'low expectations' 4 a sitting president that we'd allow 4 a criminal? That is what & who he is & always has been! Welcome, Mr. & Mrs. Biden to the WH.

fails to note the irregularities discovered and that they required and will require repair.

He will continue to 'fight' as long as people keep donating to his PAC.

Trump in the mud 😂

More like he got that Kremlin message and complied.

I’m sure he told her. The letter shows her dereliction of duties and her position.

Black Americans will not forget that Trump tried to call millions of their votes “illegal” and the Republican Party said nothing.

Since when does the media determine elections

And he will continue to do so for at least the next 4 years. He’s forever changed our discourse for the worse.

Are they baseless because you say so

tRump allegations = continue the grift ...gullible trumppets still donating to getaway fund

Baseless allegations coming from a guy who has ZERO integrity

Except the GSA’s Emily Murphy, in her letter to Biden, said it was her decision to begin the transition based on the certifications and lawsuit dismissals. So seems tRump is also lying about having a hand in that decision as well. I know, shocker.

He's the Jill Stein of 2016. ’I'm a Putin mouthpiece’

Please stop covering realDonaldTrump s tantrum about a decided election and focus on the moves he is now making to undermine the US and JoeBiden!

Love all these republicans saying he should concede and put the country first. Why would he do that when he’s never ever put the country first..

He is trying to use this as leverage to NOT be prosecuted, with the idea that his voters will rise up. The good news is, every day there are less of those stupid enough to think the likes of him actually has any good at all. He couldnt even give to charity without a benefit.

Yep, Strange her opening Statement didn't start with ' At the direction of the President 'Like all his other cronies do,

But the GSA admin claims to have come to this decision independently...

Luck Trump up! Accountability!

Oh look NPR lieing to people..

Get over it. Regardless of the legal battles scott brown will STILL be taking over the new england school of law.

But the GSA said its decision was independent Trump still lie SMH

He knows he's going to jail once he's out of the White House New York tax evasion fraud

Is there a reason y’all can’t report on what’s actually happening? Or did y’all lose that ability? His claims might not be successful or persuasive enough, but as I read these cases they surely are not baseless.

Grifter is going to grift

Hmmmm, I wonder if $, $, $ has any to do with it? KeepThoseDonationsComing

I thought GSAEmily said she made the decision entirely on her own? Hmm.

Let’s stop giving credence to him with all the news articles then - since we have the transition in place. Maybe just one more article titled “don’t believe anything Donald Trump says... actually don’t even listen to him... especially for the next few months.”

Well, you can't expect any maturity or class from Trump. He's gonna make baseless allegations, for the rest of his life.

Trump wears jeans while skiing. Trump claps on 1 and 3.

. Of Course... It Is The Republi-CON - Thing To Do. .

China wins! Love it!

Go Brady Go

kinda like Hillary did and still does. the russians haha

he relented, and is leaving. he can keep crying on his way out the door, but it’s over for him

Trump is and always will be a liar. Who cares what he says.

At the same time, a growing collection of progressive groups is opposing the leading female contender, Michèle Flournoy, citing concerns about her record and private-sector associations.
