On June 3, 2016, the Agency Transition Directors Council first assembled at the [[White House]] to review transition plans of each of the major executive departments; neither the Trump nor Clinton campaigns sent representatives to this initial meeting. At about the same time, the White House began transferring the [[Obama administration]]'s accumulated electronic files to the [[National Archives and Records Administration]]'s Electronic Record Archive for preservation.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Miller|first1=Jason|url=http://federalnewsradio.com/omb/2016/06/white-house-initiates-transition-planning-meetings-data-transfers|title=White House initiates transition planning with meetings, data transfers|access-date=July 31, 2016|publisher=[[Federal News Radio]]|date=June 6, 2016}}</ref>

On July 30, 2016, [[White House Chief of Staff]] [[Denis McDonough]] spoke with representatives of the Trump and Clinton campaigns to discuss transition arrangements for assuming office in January. McDonough confirmed that the candidates would be eligible for interim national security briefings from the [[Director of National Intelligence]].<ref name=":0">{{cite web|last1=Liptak|first1=Kevin|url=http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/29/politics/white-house-transition-campaigns/index.html|title=White House invites Trump, Clinton reps for transition meetings|access-date=July 31, 2016|publisher=[[CNN]]}}</ref> Clinton's transition team was also eligible to use federal workspace in [[Washington, D.C.]], and to attend meetings of the [[White House]] transition teams.<ref>{{cite web|last=Miller|first=Zeke J.|url=http://time.com/4431651/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-campaign-intelligence-briefings/|title=Trump, Clinton Campaigns Invited to White House Transition Meetings|access-date=July 31, 2016|work=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]}}</ref>
