President Joe Biden has initiated the Presidential Records Transition Task Force to tackle the systemic issue of mishandling classified information during presidential transitions. This comes in response to a recent Justice Department special counsel’s report that criticized the handling of classified documents during Biden’s transition. The task force, led by Katy Kale, will study past transitions to establish best practices for securing classified information and assess the need for policy changes to prevent the removal of sensitive data. The move aims to enhance the safeguarding of classified information during presidential transitions and address a longstanding problem in the process.
