Jamie Ruskin warned that Trump refuses to sign the agreement on the peaceful transfer of power

In a new letter to Donald Trump and JD Vance, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) warned that Republicans have refused to sign an agreement with the sitting president to preserve a peaceful transfer of power.

Ruskin wrote to Trump and Vance.

In 2010, with overwhelming bipartisan support, Congress passed primary elections
Presidential Act to provide funding and resources to major party presidential candidates
robust transition planning to help ensure a smooth and effective transition between the presidency
administrations.

Breaking with the precedent set by every other presidential candidate since 2010, you have denied those resources and refused to allow a smooth transition. It appears that your decision may be at least partly driven by your intent to circumvent fundraising rules that limit private contributions to transition efforts and require public reporting. You may also be acting on a more general distaste for ethics rules designed to prevent conflicts of interest in the incoming administration.

With less than three weeks until the election where the American people will choose a new President of the United States, I urge you to put the public interest in maintaining a properly functioning government above your personal financial or political interests. perceive by boycotting the official transitional law and process. I am asking that your campaign have the necessary resources for proper transition planning by promptly signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the General Services Administration (GSA), promptly signing a memorandum of understanding with the outgoing president, and promptly submitting a formal ethics plan. for your transition.

…

Your actions deviate from the established norms of the federal government and demonstrate a spectacular disregard for the successful continuation of the basic institutions of American democratic government. Without these MOUs, federal agencies are unlikely to be able to communicate safely and effectively with your staff, which would jeopardize the “orderly transfer of executive authority” and endanger our national security. I strongly urge you to immediately sign both MOUs and submit your ethics plan.

Trump plans to topple the federal government before taking office if he wins.

There has already been a scandal that resulted in an investigation into Trump's first pass, as millions of dollars in donations went missing and were never found and accounted for. Although there was a lot of talk that the money was given to Donald Trump and his family members.

In addition to his fascism, Trump is already creating the gloom of a potential victory, and there will be no accountability.
