President-elect Trump’s transition team has belatedly signed an agreement to allow the FBI to conduct background checks on Trump’s picks to serve in his new administration. Trump had allowed weeks to pass without signing the agreement. The news site Semafor reports some of Trump’s Cabinet nominees remain opposed to submitting themselves to an FBI check until the bureau is revamped by a director chosen by Trump. The Trump transition team is reportedly still looking into tapping into the private sector — rather than the FBI — to conduct background checks on some of Trump’s nominees.
