There is virtually no chance that even a challenge backed by Tuberville will succeed, except maybe in causing a slight delay of Congress’ certification of Biden’s win.

As @kaitlancollins points out, the President did not attend the event where his own @VP and @Surgeon_General got vaccinated. During it, he was tweeting about the "Russia Hoax"

SCOOP w @mikeallen : Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller ordered a Pentagon-wide halt to cooperation with the transition of President-elect Biden, shocking officials across the Defense Department, senior administration officials tell Axios. axios.com/pentagon-biden…
@jonathanvswan
Miller's move, which stunned officials throughout the Pentagon, was the biggest eruption yet of animus and mistrust toward the Biden team from the top level of the Trump administration.

President Donald Trump's most powerful advisor, Jared Kushner, approved the creation of a campaign shell company that secretly paid the president's family members and spent almost half of the campaign's $1.26 billion war chest, a person familiar with the operation told Insider.
The operation acted almost like a campaign within a campaign. It paid some of Trump's top advisors and family members while shielding financial and operational details from public scrutiny.
When Kushner and others created the company in April 2018, they picked Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump, to become its president, Vice President Mike Pence's nephew John Pence as its vice president, and Trump campaign CFO Sean Dollman as its treasurer and secretary, the person who spoke on the condition of anonymity said.

After the Pentagon chief said there was a "mutually agreed upon" holiday pause on transition meetings, a Biden transition spokesperson disputes him. "We think it’s important that briefings and other engagements continue during this period," Yohannes Abraham told @jeffzeleny.
