Trump ‘impressed’ after Petraeus meeting
“We ll see where it goes from here”, he told reporters at Trump Tower.
Mr. Romney, who met November 19 with Mr. Trump, is scheduled for a second meeting with the president-elect Tuesday at Trump Tower. He is set to meet Romney again Tuesday, the real source of the friction in Team Trump.
Donald Trump is due to meet the former U.S. military commander David Petraeus, followed by Mitt Romney and Senator Bob Corker, in a sign the contest for secretary of state in the incoming administration is still wide open. Conway called accounts of Trump’s displeasure with her “all false” in a text to MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough. His meeting with Trump comes amid the President-elect’s increasingly public deliberations over whom to pick for the most prominent post in his cabinet. Romney and Petraeus are contenders for secretary of state, according to senior level sources. Collins was among the first sitting members of Congress to endorse Trump during the campaign.
Mr Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence have met with about 70 people so far as they look to shape their White House and Cabinet team before taking office on January 20.

‘I’ve been in a position before where a president has turned to me in the Oval Office in a hard moment, without any pleasantries, and said, “I’m asking you as your president and commander in chief to take command of the worldwide security force in Afghanistan”,’ he added. “It’s a conceded election”.
Petraeus oversaw the surge in Iraq during the Bush administration and served as CIA Director under President Barack Obama for just over a year.
Petreaus got in trouble when he shared hundreds of classified documents with his biographer, Paula Broadwell of Charlotte, N.C., with whom he had an affair. Bob Corker of Tennessee, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. During the Republican primaries, when the remaining candidates were Trump, Texas Sen. “Obviously, maintaining any sort of informal advisory role is a lot different from being nominated secretary of State for the United States”, Earnest said.
Trump’s transition team did not respond to questions seeking evidence of the claims.
The electoral vote total is unlikely to change, even after a Republican member of the Electoral College said he’s resigning rather than cast one of Texas’ 38 electoral votes for Donald Trump.
Broadwell, a former U.S. Army intelligence officer, has never been accused of publishing any of the classified material in her 2012 book, “All In: The Education of David Petraeus”.
