In some cases, the names are being withheld until Wednesday, officials familiar with the decisions said, underscoring the widespread distrust of Trump loyalists among Biden aides, even though the transition will conclude in a matter of hours.
The officials briefed on the matter spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the Biden administration’s decisions on the transition.
