BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) — President Biden is expected to lift the ban on transgender people in the military early this week.

The White House Press Secretary has said that move would come early in his presidency.

Now, CNN is reporting it could happen as early as Monday.

Former President Donald Trump instituted the ban after announcing it in a 2017 post on Twitter.
