Pompeo Promises ‘A Smooth Transition to a Second Trump Administration’

What's the story?

• Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said there would be a “smooth transition to a second Trump administration" days after Joe Biden was projected to be the next president.
• During a briefing Tuesday, Pompeo backed President Donald Trump's baseless claims of widespread voter fraud.
• "The world is watching what's taking place. We're going to count all the votes," Pompeo said.
• He added:

"I'm very confident that we will count, and we must count, every legal vote. We must make sure that any vote that wasn't lawful ought not be counted. That dilutes your vote, if it's done improperly. Got to get that right. When we get it right, we'll get it right."
