Summary

Trump’s transition team is relying on private email servers, raising security concerns among federal officials who fear potential hacking and misuse of sensitive information.

The White House has instructed agencies to limit electronic sharing and instead offer in-person briefings or reading room access for sensitive materials.

Federal employees are wary of transmitting classified or personnel data to unsecured servers, with some requiring transition officials to verify compliance with security standards.

The reliance on private emails is slowing the transfer of government materials ahead of Trump’s inauguration.

    Ok, it has to be said…

    But his emails…

    I will bet all the money that these servers are either controlled by Russian sources or are somehow connected to them. If there is no internet traffic between those servers and Russia, I will eat Putin’s shoe.

      I would not want to be the poor intern handling his emails.

      I bet he responds to all the “Cherry is looking for a hot date in your area” with mushroom pics.
