November 18, 2016 MORE POLITICS > Trump's Cabinet Comes Together Trump Offers Jeff Sessions Attorney General Position Donald Trump has offered the position of U.S. attorney general to Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, senior Trump transition sources told ABC News. Sessions earned Trump's favor after becoming the first GOP senator to officially endorse the candidate during the Republican primary. The Senate Judiciary committee member has been a regular visitor to Trump Tower over the past week as Trump has huddled with close advisers in deliberating how he will staff his administration.

Michael Flynn as his National Security Adviser, according to senior Trump transition officials, rewarding one of his campaign's most prominent allies with a major role as he seeks to fulfill his promise to better protect the country. In the role, Flynn will consult with Trump on protecting the country's citizens, key infrastructure and resources and sit on the National Security Council with Trump, Vice President-elect Mike Pence, the incoming secretaries of state, defense and energy, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and other key officials.

But the suggestion that Trump is talking to Mitt Romney about becoming Secretary of State seems like a blatant attempt to use Romney now - in the transition period - and not use him later. Trump's disdain for Romney is matched by Romney's for Trump; these are not rivals, they are political enemies whose worldviews on matter foreign and domestic are starkly and often completely different. Trump surely likes the impression that he's reaching beyond his loyalists for his Cabinet. He knows Romney is not inclined to blow up a charade being orchestrated by the new president-elect. But Romney is exceedingly unlikely to end up serving in the Trump administration - something both sides know in advance of their weekend meeting. This Week on 'This Week' President-elect Donald Trump's incoming chief of staff Reince Priebus discusses the latest in Trump's transition to the White House. Plus, Martha Raddatz goes one-on-one with newly elected Senate minority leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY. And the Powerhouse Roundtable debates the week in politics, with ABC News political analyst Matthew Dowd, ABC News contributor LZ Granderson, NPR Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep, and Bloomberg Politics national political reporter Jennifer Jacobs. How Trump's Lobbying Ban Could Shake Up Washington President-elect Donald Trump and his advisers are promising to keep lobbyists off his transition team and prohibit any future administration officials from lobbying for five years after they leave the government -- but some experts say the proposed rules may not be effectual. "The focus on this is to ensure that service to the nation is first," Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said on a press call Thursday morning. ABC's BENJAMIN SIEGEL, SHUSHANNAH WALSHE and RICK KLEIN have more. http://abcn.ws/2fBr1JF READ MORE   Trump Meets With Japanese Prime Minister Donald Trump had his first face-to-face meeting as president-elect with another world leader Thursday when he spoke with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at Trump Tower in New York City -- the first test of Trump's resolve to stand by caustic campaign rhetoric that left many world leaders questioning his foreign policy agenda. Following the meeting, Abe told reporters the meeting was "very candid" and that he has "great confidence" in Trump, according to ABC's JUSTIN FISHEL. "I will be able to establish a relationship of trust," Abe said. "I conveyed my view on basic issues -- I'd like to refrain from touching on details." http://abcn.ws/2f8Smlz READ MORE   Cities Across US Push Back Against Trump's Proposed Immigration Policies Mayors and police chiefs in some major cities across the United States are speaking out publicly against President-elect Donald Trump's proposed immigration policies. In his first television interview as president-elect with CBS' "60 Minutes," Trump said that once he takes office, he plans to immediately deport approximately 2 to 3 million undocumented immigrants. Refusal to cooperate with federal law enforcement could jeopardize federal funding to state and local governments, something that Trump has threatened and will have the power to influence. ABC's GENEVA SANDS notes some of the major cities that are reasserting their immigration policies as the new administration is transitioning to power: http://abcn.ws/2g3gp4Z READ MORE   FOLLOW ABC NEWS You Might Like This email was sent to bamsdum.xiomi@blogger.com Please do not reply to this email as this address is not monitored.
