Bronx Congress member Torres slams Hochul online, calling for Democratic challenger to governor in 2026WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump's transition team on Tuesday signed an agreement to allow the Justice Department to conduct background checks on his nominees and appointees after a weeks-long delay. The step lets Trump transition aides and future administration staffers obtain security clearances before Inauguration Day to access classified information about ongoing government programs, an essential step for a smooth transiton of power. It also allows those nominees who are up for Senate confirmation to face the background checks lawmakers want before voting on them. Teams of investigators have been standing by to process clearances for Trump aides and advisers. “This agreement with the Department of Justice will ensure President Trump and his team are ready on Day 1 to begin enacting the America First Agenda that an overwhelming majority of our nation supported on Election Day," said Susie Wiles, Trump's designate to be White House chief of staff. The announcement comes a week after the Trump transition team signed an agreement with the Biden White House to allow transition staff to coordinate with the existing federal workforce before taking office on Jan. 20. The White House agreement was supposed to have been signed by Oct. 1, according to the Presidential Transition Act, and the Biden White House had issued both public and private appeals for Trump’s team to sign on. Security clearances are required to access classified information, including on ongoing operations and threats to the nation, and the Biden White House and outside experts have emphasized to Trump's team the importance of having cleared personnel before Inauguration Day so they could be fully briefed and ready to run the government. Republican Senators have also insisted on FBI background checks for Trump's nominees before they face confirmation votes, as has been standard practice for decades. Lawmakers have been particularly interested in seeing the findings of reviews into Trump's designated nominee for defense secretary, former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, and for Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to be director of national intelligence. “That’s why it’s so important that we have an FBI background check, a committee review of extensive questions and questionnaires, and a public hearing,” said. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine on Monday. John Thune, the incoming Senate Republican leader, said the Trump team “understands there’s going to have to be a thorough vetting of all these nominees.” — AP congressional correspondent Lisa Mascaro contributed.

The swearing-in ceremony, expected to commence at 3pm, marks a rare occasion when cabinet expansion will be held in Nagpur highlighting Vidarbha's growing domination in Maharashtra's corridors of power, BJP sources said. The last such ceremony in Nagpur happened in 1991, when the then Governor C Subramaniam administered oath to Chhagan Bhujbal and other ministers. As winter session of Maharashtra legislature begins on December 16, ministers will have just one day to settle into their roles before the session kicks off. The session is expected to address critical issues such as farmer distress, unemployment, and infrastructure development. The cabinet expansion was finalised after three weeks of hectic negotiations among Mahayuti partners over key portfolios. Despite BJP's dominant position with 132 assembly seats in the 288-member House, it faced challenges in balancing power with Shiv Sena and NCP factions, both eager to secure influential roles in the govt. Though Fadnavis is certain to carry out the expansion on Sunday, an NCP leader claimed that BJP's list hasn't yet got clearance from BJP leadership, but NCP's key demands were accepted long back and concerns raised by Eknath Shinde resolved too. The Maharashtra cabinet can have 43 ministers as per NCP sources BJP will get 21 berths, Shiv Sena 12 and NCP 10. Sources said BJP will retain key departments such as home and revenue while urban development, public health, public works and Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation will be with Shiv Sena and NCP(Ajit) will get finance apart from portfolios it held in the last govt. A Sena functionary said that deputy CM Shinde had prepared a list of 12 nominees wherein he has replaced at least six cabinet members from the previous one with new faces and forwarded the same for CM's approval. Cabinet expansion was delayed due to Shinde's insistence on home portfolio, a demand that was rejected by Fadnavis, sources added. Vidarbha, a BJP stronghold, is likely to figure prominently in the cabinet. Some names doing the rounds for inclusion in Fadnavis cabinet include state BJP president and Kamptee MLA Chandrashekhar Bawankule, Ballapur BJP MLA Sudhir Mungantiwar, Ramtek Shiv Sena MLA Ashish Jaiswal and Aheri NCP MLA Dharmarao Atram. The local administration has been directed to make elaborate arrangements, including seating for approximately 1,000 guests at Raj Bhavan. The local administration faces a tight timeline to ensure smooth proceedings for swearing-in and logistical requirements for the new ministers. Departments like general administration, revenue, and public works have been tasked with providing transport, accommodation, and office facilities for the expanded cabinet. The decision to hold swearing-in in Nagpur underscores the strategic importance of Vidarbha in Maharashtra's politics. This event also marks a rare departure from tradition, reflecting the BJP's effort to assert its dominance and cater to its core support base in the region. The ceremony is expected to set the tone for Mahayuti govt's legislative agenda and provide a fresh impetus to its governance goals. Stay updated with the latest news on Times of India .
