Delays in the transition process are causing President-elect Joe Biden to appoint interim agency heads.

They'll be in place as his nominees await confirmation.

The delays stem from President Trump's unsupported claims of widespread election fraud and the legal battles he launched to change the outcome of the election.

An impeachment trial could further delay those confirmations.
