President-elect Donald Trump is expanding his pool of candidates for secretary of state, leaving unclear whether former CIA Director David Petraeus' guilty plea for leaking classified information disqualifies him to serve as the nation's top diplomat. "There's not a finite list of candidates" for secretary of state, Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway told reporters on Sunday.
David Petraeus made a last-ditch effort Sunday to show President-elect Donald Trump that his guilty plea for revealing classified information to his mistress and biographer shouldn't disqualify him from serving as America's top diplomat. Petraeus, the former general and CIA director, was asked on ABC's "This Week" what he would say to Republican senators who are hesitant to vote to confirm a man who pled guilty to exactly what they spent months accusing Hillary Clinton of doing via her private email server.

Trump on Sunday named Republican Party chief Reince Priebus as White House chief of staff and conservative media owner Bannon as his top presidential strategist, two men who represent opposite ends of the unsettled GOP.
It is a sign of how secretive the new administration plans to be that when Donald Trump spoke last week with the Pakistani prime minister, Americans learned what was discussed not from their president-elect but from the oppressive Pakistani government's Ministry of Information.
Donald Trump Amid scrutiny, Conway posts photo with Trump Romney flirtation jolts Trump World Pa. congressman floated for transportation secretary: report MORE will meet Tuesday with Mitt Romney, a candidate for secretary of State who is distrusted and almost universally opposed by the president-elect's inner circle.
The auditions continue for "The Cabinet Apprentice" at Trump Tower, and the parade is getting to be a little much. Will it be Mitt Romney or Rudy Giuliani for State, or will former General David Petraeus get the nod instead, and has Kellyanne Conway gone rogue or did she have a wink from the boss to tear into Mr. Romney on Sunday? Wake us when President-elect Trump makes his picks.
On November 27, 2016 Kellyanne Conway questioned Romney's loyalty to Trump, and questioned Romney's judgment because of his attacks on Trump. She said that Romney lost states in 2012 that Trump won, and questioned what has Romney done since 2012 to warrant an important position such as Secretary of State.

President-elect Donald Trump claimed without evidence Sunday that "millions" voted illegally in the national election, scoffing at Hillary Clinton's nearly 2 million edge in the popular vote and returning to his campaign mantra of a rigged race even as he prepares to enter the White House in less than two months. Trump and his lieutenants assailed an effort - now joined by Clinton - to recount votes in up to three battleground states, calling the push fraudulent, the work of "crybabies" and, in Trump's estimation, "sad."
A top aide to President-elect Donald Trump said Mitt Romney, a potential choice for secretary of state, faces a groundswell of opposition as some of Trump's loyalists become more explicit with their criticism of the former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate. "I am just astonished at the breathtaking volume and intensity of blowback that I see, just as one person close to the president-elect," Kellyanne Conway, who managed Trump's campaign and is now a senior adviser to his transition, said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."
A top Donald Trump adviser warned Sunday that the president-elect's supporters would feel "betrayed" if he tapped former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney as secretary of state, a move that would put a once-fierce Trump critic in a powerful Cabinet post. The comments from Kellyanne Conway deepened a highly unusual push by some Trump allies to stop the president-elect from nominating Romney.
President-elect Donald Trump pressed forward Friday with two more administration picks, as failed Green Party candidate Jill Stein took new steps to force recounts across key Midwestern battlegrounds that could complicate Trump's push for national unity. Stein, who earned little more than 1 percent of the national vote, formally requested a Wisconsin recount Friday afternoon, vowing to do the same in the coming days in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

President-elect Donald Trump is connecting with foreign leaders and considering new Cabinet-prospects Friday as he gathers with family for a long Thanksgiving weekend at his Mar-a-Lago estate. As the incoming president looks ahead, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein made progress on her push to force recounts in three Midwestern battleground states that fueled Trump's stunning victory.

Tehran has taken nearly full control over Baghdad thanks to the Obama Middle East Doctrine , blueprinted to deliver a series of incentives to Iran aimed at preventing the mullahs from walking away from the already flawed nuclear deal . One victim of such a failed policy has been the country of Iraq, as Iran gained enormous influence over it under President Barack Obama's watch.
President-elect Donald Trump's flirtation with Mitt Romney as a possible pick for Secretary of State has injected a sliver of hope and change into an evolving administration that could use some. If ever there were a rarer pair -- think Doberman and Labradoodle -- I can't think of one.
The New York Times reports on the Emoluments Clause , which concerns compensation and presents from foreign governments. Trump's companies currently do business with entities controlled by foreign governments and people with ties to them, the Times writes - and experts in legal ethics say those kinds of arrangements could easily run afoul of the clause if they continue after Trump takes office.
In one of the more bizarre twists of political irony to hit the 2016 election season, it is now former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani - one of the most vocal critics of Hillary Clinton - who is now facing potential trouble regarding his own history with paid speeches. Giuliani met with President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday in Bedminster, New Jersey where the soon-to-be-45th President held a dizzying array of meetings with guests all weekend long in the hopes of filing crucial cabinet positions.
