A group of leading GOP national security experts including former homeland security secretary Tom Ridge urged congressional Republicans on Monday to demand President Trump concede the election and immediately begin the transition to the incoming Biden administration.
President Trumps refusal to permit the presidential transition poses significant risks to our national security, at a time when the U.S. confronts a global pandemic and faces serious threats from global adversaries, terrorist groups, and other forces, said a statement signed by more than 100 GOP luminaries....
Read the statement from 100-plus former national security officials
...The statement added to complaints from a small but growing number of Republicans who describe Trumps election response as a threat to the nations security.
The Republican Party is not going to be saved by hiding in a spider hole, said Trumps former national security adviser, John Bolton, during an appearance Sunday on CNNs State of the Union. Bolton is not among those who signed the statement. We need all of our leaders to come out and say, the election is over. Were not talking about an abstract right for Trump to use his legal remedies. Weve passed that.
