Kellyanne Conway has thrown cold water on the rumors that there is a feud brewing between her and Donald Trump - tweeting out a picture of them both "working hard" on Monday night in the president-elect's office.

Giuliani with one of the administration's most prized jobs or selecting a decorated military officer in David H. Petraeus.
The abbreviated holiday week brought with it a full measure of developments in the moral quandary in which the press has found itself since Donald Trump became a candidate, and, more acutely, since he won the Presidency, three weeks ago.

The drama, disputes and falsehoods that permeated Donald Trump's presidential campaign are now roiling his transition to the White House, forcing aides to defend his baseless assertions of illegal voting and sending internal fights spilling into public. On Monday, a recount effort, led by Green Party candidate Jill Stein and joined by Hillary Clinton's campaign also marched on in three states, based partly on the Stein campaign's unsubstantiated assertion that cyberhacking could have interfered with electronic voting machines.
