Biden said it was 'shockingly gracious' of Trump to write him a letter before leaving, new book claims | Business Insider

, outgoing US presidents leave a letter for their successor on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office before leaving the White House.

It's a tradition former President Donald Trump followed as he left the Oval Office — and a move President Joe Biden described as"shockingly gracious," according to an excerpt of Chris Whipple's forthcoming book,"The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden's White House.""That was very gracious and generous … Shockingly gracious," Biden said of the move, per Politico's excerpt of Whipple's book.

In a statement to Politico on the book, White House spokesperson Robyn Patterson said:"We respect that there will be no shortage of books written about the administration containing a wide variety of claims." "We don't plan to engage in confirmations or denials when it comes to the specifics of those claims. The author did not give us a chance to verify the materials that are attributed here," Patterson added.

A spokesman for Trump and representatives at the White House press office did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment sent outside regular business hours.
