My background check for a new job is taking forever, I’ve already checked out of my current job, how do I deflect new projects?

I’m supposed to be starting a new job in two weeks contingent on my background check. Originally my background check was supposed to be ready this Friday but now it’s extended another week! I have zero concerns related to my background so I don’t understand what the issue is. I reached out to the recruiter this morning and am waiting a response. Anyway, my current job is trash.

I’ve had this new job lined up for the last couple of weeks, I’ve signed all the paperwork but I can’t put in my notice until the contingencies are cleared which is taking FOREVER.

It’s likely I’m going to end up having to give a one week notice instead of a two week so I’m trying to prepare so that I don’t look like a total ahole when I quit but now I have all this other stuff they want me to do urgently.

What do I do! How do I get around their checklists without saying “ya im actually putting in my notice soon so no thanks” without actually saying that
