Trump Moving Quickly To Build Out His New Administration

1 week ago President-elect Donald Trump says he will nominate loyalist Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz to be his attorney general.

Trump picks Tulsi Gabbard, former Democratic congresswoman, as nominee for director of national intelligence.

Trump names Marco Rubio as his pick for secretary of state, setting up ally as nation's top diplomat.


Trump says Elon Musk and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will lead a new “Department of Government Efficiency.” Despite the name, the new organization will not be a government agency. Trump says it will be an outside group that will offer the White House advice on how to “drive large scale structural reform" and create an entrepreneurial approach to government. The president-elect says he wants to shock government systems. The acronym for the new organization is DOGE, which is a nod to Musk's favorite cryptocurrency, dogecoin. Musk has been a constant presence at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort since the presidential election.
