However, at a Friday briefing, Biden transition spokespeople Yohannes Abraham and Jen Psaki denied there was an agreed upon holiday pause and called for the Pentagon to immediately restart the discussions.
Asked if the Biden team was accusing Miller of lying, Psaki said: “I don’t think we need to communicate that. I think you can make your own judgment about the information we provided.”
“It’s not in our interest to provide inaccurate information about the status of our engagements,” she added. “Our preference is certainly for things to proceed as usual. That is our hope.”
Abraham added that political appointees at the department have been particularly “recalcitrant” in sharing information when compared to other government agencies, and that the “abrupt halt to the already limited cooperation” needed to be reversed immediately — particularly in the aftermath of the SolarWinds hack that is believed to have exposed America’s national security agencies for months.
I can't thoroughly research everything that I post, but Steve Turley is a known commodity and he's usually pretty reliable.

You seriously don't understand that the DOD is playing it down? The Biden team is pissed and is called Miller a liar.
