Though she’s refused to officially certify Joe Biden as president-elect and is thereby blocking his transition process, General Services Administrator (GSA) Emily Murphy reportedly seems to recognize that the Democrat will prevail against the Trump administration’s stonewalling.
ABC News reported on Monday that it had obtained a recent message from Murphy to an acquaintance in which she asks about other job opportunities in the coming year.
A GSA official told TPM that the agency “denies this characterization and account” and that Murphy is “focused on doing her job, that’s it.”
The administrator has been under scrutiny in recent days over her role in President Donald Trump’s attempt to undermine Biden’s victory and falsely sow doubt on the legitimacy of the election. Murphy has declined to sign a letter declaring the “apparent winner” of the race that would give the Biden team the funds and resources needed to begin the transition to the new administration.
If she has ascertained the immediate need for new employment, you’d think she could ascertain some other things too.
No sympathy for this person.
It is a good thing that the identity of this person is know to the world.
I predict no trouble, as things stand, with the “Are you a team player?” question.
She knows she’s not going to be staying on after this. I wish she would just cut her losses, sign the letter and resign her position. Or resign and let someone else sign the paper. It’s not like Trump is going to track her down and haunt her - he’s got other things to wreck and ruin on his mind.
Anyone get a LinkedIn request from her?
