US President Donald Trump has finally officially allowed a transition for Joe Biden's administration to take over the White House.
According to the BBC, Trump says he has recommended the General Services Administration (GSA) to do what needs to be done despite promising to continue to oppose the election results.
The GSA also acknowledged Biden as the winner. GSA administrator Emily Murphy said a US $ 6.3 million fund had been set up for the Biden administration.
According to Murphy, he did not receive any pressure from the White House on the agency's decision against Biden.
"Honestly, I did not receive any instructions to postpone the decision.
"However, I received threats through online, telephone and letters intended to threaten the safety of me, my family, my staff and even my pets in an effort to force me to make improper decisions. Despite facing thousands of threats, I remain committed to upholding the law, "Murphy said in a letter to Biden.
Biden's team in the meantime welcomed the letter.
"Today's decision is a necessary step to address the challenges facing our country, including controlling the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic and keeping our economy back on track.
"This final decision is an administrative action to officially begin the transition process with federal agencies," said a Biden team spokesman.
Biden's victory is expected to be approved by the election board or electoral college on December 14.
