Murphy wrote in the letter that she made the decision independently based on law and available facts. “Please know that I came to my decision independently, based on the law and available facts”

I was never directly or indirectly pressured by any Executive Branch official — including those who work at the White House or GSA — with regard to the substance or timing of my decision. To be clear, I did not receive any direction to delay my determination.”

This marks the formal signing off of a transition which usually is supposed to be smooth and quick as soon as a winner is announced. The transition will allow agency officials from the current administration to coordinate with the incoming administration.
