GSA chief: No pressure from Trump, but Left threatened family, staff, and pets

Government Services Administration Administrator Emily Murphy said that while she didn’t receive pressure from the White House to begin transition proceedings for President-elect Joe Biden, she did endure several threats, apparently from the Left. 

Murphy revealed the harassment in a Monday letter to Biden notifying him that he will be allowed to start the presidential transition process because of “recent developments involving legal challenges and certifications of election results.” She emphasized that her decisions following the election have been completely independent of political pressure from President Trump. 

“To be clear, I did not receive any direction to delay my determination,” Murphy said amid the torrent of criticism that has been lobbed at her from the Left. “I did, however, receive threats online, by phone, and by mail directed at my safety, my family, my staff, and even my pets in an effort to coerce me into making this determination prematurely."
