You鈥檙e hired! Trump chooses his top team
鈥nd meets Biden in the White House
President-elect Donald Trump has spent the week since his election picking out his cabinet members and closest advisors who will help him through his second term. Sarah, Marianna and Anthony give you the latest on who鈥檚 been nominated so far.
Among them is Elon Musk, who has been tipped to run the new Department of Government Efficiency. But what does that mean, exactly?
And, this afternoon Trump met with President Biden in the White House for a transition meeting, which was partly drowned out by the sound of a fireplace.
