WASHINGTON - President Trump left a note for incoming President Joe Biden before departing the White House, FOX News is told.
A source told FOX News the contents of this note are just between Trump and Biden. It’s traditional for outgoing presidents to leave a note for their successor.
On Wednesday, Biden confirmed receiving the letter, calling it 'generous.'
"The president wrote a very generous letter," Biden told reporters. "Because it was private, I won't talk about it until I talk to him."

President Biden says Trump wrote him a very generous letter
Biden said the letter was private and won't release details until he spoke with Trump.
Fox confirms the note Trump left for Biden is in the Resolute desk in the Oval Office.
While Trump is breaking a century and a half tradition of every outgoing president attending the inauguration of their successor, he is keeping with the now 32-year tradition of the departing commander-in-chief writing a note to the incoming president.

As he left the White House in January 1989 after two terms in office, President Ronald Reagan started the tradition - leaving a note for his successor, George H.W. Bush, who also happened to be his vice president.
Four years later, despite losing to then-Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas in a bitterly contested election, outgoing President Bush left Clinton a note in the Oval Office. The tradition has carried on to this day.
