This move comes nearly a month after Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election and signals a significant departure from traditional transition processes.
As reported by The Independent, Susie Wiles, the incoming White House Chief of Staff, announced that Trump was "entering the next phase of his administration’s transition by executing a Memorandum of Understanding with President Joe Biden’s White House." This agreement will facilitate the integration of incoming administration personnel with their outgoing counterparts, enabling a smooth transition of power.
Wiles further explained, "This engagement allows our intended Cabinet nominees to begin critical preparations, including the deployment of landing teams to every department and agency, and complete the orderly transition of power." The transition, however, will be conducted entirely using private funds, with no reliance on taxpayer dollars allocated under the Presidential Transition Act.

In a move that underscores the team's commitment to self-sufficiency, the transition will not utilize any federal office space or information technology systems. The transition fact sheet states that it will "operate as a self-sufficient organization." Trump’s team believes that this "organizational autonomy" will streamline the process, ensuring the Trump Administration is ready to hit the ground running on Day 1.

The Trump team has also prioritized privacy, aiming to keep the transition organization’s communications off any government computers that could potentially be subject to Freedom of Information Act requests. This approach is informed by past experiences; after Trump's initial entry into the White House in 2017, Democratic-aligned transparency groups used such requests to access transition communications, which were later used in litigation against Trump’s administration.

The transition team has also addressed federal ethics requirements stipulated in the Presidential Transition Act. Wiles confirmed that the transition’s existing ethics plan already meets these legal requirements, enabling incoming personnel to "seamlessly move into the Trump Administration."

In the spirit of transparency, the Trump transition team will disclose the identities of "landing team" members who will meet with officials at the agencies they will be running come noon on January 20, 2025.
