however, donald trump , his relationship with pompeo is not what it once was. what many people have described to me as, the relationship has soured. he did not come out and endorse trump early on, if not even later on , and that has been a sticking point. also, donald trump has questioned privately when his name has been brought up whether or not he actually could trust pompeo and whether or not he was fully loyal to him. some of the jobs he was being floated for , pompeo's name was under consideration for was the secretary of defense. now that is clearly off the table, as for haley, donald trump had said he had appreciated her getting up on stage at the republican national convention in july , saying she supported him. she also offered in the 11th hour to go out and campaign with him, that never materialized, but discussions had been made about whether or not they would go out for a joint appearance before election day . really, when it came down to it, donald trump has been telling his allies , essentially, he had not gotten over all of the attacks that she h

pompeo did not endorse trump until after the republican primaries this year. something that trump viewed as not being loyal to him. in my conversations with senior advisors they argued in private conversations over the past few days, trump asked them whether or not pompeo would be loyal to him or if he could trust him in a second term. for nikki haley, trump said he appreciates she got up on stage at the national convention in july and called for unity and remembers she was in discussions with the trump campaign in the final weeks before election day about potentially meeting for a joint appearance and helping him campaign. that never materialized but again trump had said he appreciated that on some level however i am told the president elect still harbors a lot of animosity toward nikki haley for the attacks she laughed at him during the primary and also she remained in the primary for so long. trump remarked she believes she hung on longer than what was appropriate. cnn. florida. >>> another important part of the trump transition is his pick for attorney gen

he talked about not wanting his former secretary of state, mike pompeo, or his former u.n. ambassador, nikki haley, to have any part in his second term . i'm going to read for you some of what he wrote. he said, quote, i will not be inviting former ambassador nikki haley or former secretary of state mike pompeo to join the trump administration, which is forwardly in our nation. i enjoyed and appreciated working with them previously and would like to thank them for their service to our country. make america again. now to give you a little bit of context on where some of this is coming from, mike pompeo is someone who many people in donald trump's inner orbit still are close to and believe that he did a good job as secretary of state. however, his relationship with donald trump has really soured in recent years, particularly because pompeo had in many ways distanced himself from the former president after he had left office in january of 2021. i remind you, as well, that pompeo did not endorse donald trump until after the republican primaries this year, something that, as we

mike pompeo is one thing. nikki haley didn't just represent nikki haley. she represented a voter who did not want donald trump to win. that's, that would be weird to have her, you know, in the orbit, in the inner circle. i get that. even though she was, she would have been my pick, she's representing voters that were deeply, deeply dismayed by donald trump. >> yeah, and also they'd replay her criticisms all the time. >> and they don't need that. >> of what came out calling him unhinged. one person in the republican primary, vivek ramaswamy who dropped out and took the opposite route of nikki haley and praised donald trump, vivek ramaswamy was asked about whether he has a future in a trump administration, and here's his answer. >> there's a couple great options on the stable. i want to have the biggest possible impact on this country. we're not going to sort that out in the press -- >> secretary of homeland security. >> but we're having high impact discussions. >> i don't know. >> that was subtle. >> they're not subtle about it. >> look, i mean, that's smar

for nikki haley and mike pompeo, it is a little special.has a relationship with both of those two people. they aren't strangers to him. mike pompeo is one thing and nikki haley didn't just represent nikki haley but represented a voter who didn't want donald trump to win. that would be weird to have her in the orbit, in that inner circle. i get that even though she would have been my pick and represented voters who wore -- were deeply upset with donald trump. >> one person who was in the republican primary, the back -- vivek was asked if he had a future there. >> there are some good options at -- on the table and i want to have the biggest impact on the country. we are having some high-impact discussions. >> i don't know. >> that was settle. >> not settle. >> that is smart of him to be that detailed about it but as self-promoting as per usual to make himself seem like somebody in demand, but i think when we look at this overall picture, here isn't interesting point. the folks he brings in and up on the chopping block so often and i hate to m

nikki haley and mike pompeo will be part of his administration. what do you think that says about what we can expect from his staffing and how it might be different this time around? >> certainly, what appears to me, is that donald trump wants a loyalist and administration. in this case, the case of mike pompeo, apparently he wasn't loyal enough. i'm not surprised that he will keep an arms length to nikki haley given her criticism of him in the primary. pompeo was a pretty loyal foot soldier but many of his former allies in the administration had kept their distance from donald trump because they didn't want to incur too much reputational damage after january 6th and other issues where trump gave very badly. so he wants. loyalists. donald trump once peer loyalists in that administration. the problem with loyalists, some of them are competent and some of them are not. it's interesting too to see what other types of loyalists he will bring back. will he bring back peter navarro and steve bannon? they were both recently released from prison. there's

he talked about not wanting his former secretary of state, mike pompeo, or former u.n.nvestor nikki haley to have any part in his second term. he said "i will not be inviting former ambassador nikki haley or former secretary of state mike pompeo to join the trump administration. i very much enjoyed and appreciated working with them previously and would like to think them for their service to our country. make america great again. to give you a little context on where some of this is coming from, mike pompeo is someone who many people in donald trump's inner orbit are still close to, and they believe he did a good job as secretary of state, however, his relationship with donald trump has really soured in recent years, mike pompeo in many ways distance himself from the former president after he had left office in january 2021. i remind you as well, he did not endorse donald trump until after the republican primaries this year, something that, as we know, donald trump viewed as not being as loyal to him. in my conversations with senior advisers, they argued that in the con

mike pompeo has been floated by many of the people close to donald trump, some people involved in the transition , for potentially being considered as a secretary of defense. i will say there are some people in donald trump's orbit, who have really soured on pompeo, who believe that he really did not earn -- doesn't earn any loyalty -- shouldn't earn any loyalty from donald trump given his late endorsement of the former president, but there are people who think that he did a great job as secretary of state and that he earned another chance to sit at the table. i will say that donald trump has privately been asking people close to him in recent days whether or not he thinks he could trust pompeo. so, that is part of where this came from, i am told, this decision to say that pompeo will have no role in another administration. as for haley, i think there is no secret that while she has come out and said that she supported donald trump, that she would vote for him, that she wanted the country -- excuse me, the party, really, to unify around donald trump, he still harbors a lot of animosit

pompeo distanced himself from the former president after he left office in 2021. donald trump, i'm told in private was has questioned whether or not pompeo would be loyal to him or if he could trust him. obviously that is something that donald trump values above all else. many were skeptical of whether or not he would actually be put up for a top-tier job now, one job that he had been floated for, i am told, and some people had put his name into consideration for, was the secretary of defense. clearly that is not going to happen. now as for haley, donald trump has told people who he is close to, that he appreciated that she got on stage at the republic national convention in july, that she called for unity and ultimately supported him, but he still harbors a lot of animosity, i'm told, for her over the attacks that she lobbed at him during the republican primary. it was a very bitter primary between the two of them come up with and also that she had kind of hung on so long during that primary , and did not drop out sooner. that is something that donald trump belie

that includes nikki haley and mike pompeo. i'm going to read for you a little bit of what he posted. i will not be inviting former ambassador nikki haley or former secretary of state mike pompeo to join the trump administration, which is currently in formation. i very much enjoyed and appreciated working with them previously and would like to thank them for their service to our country. now, some background information on where this is coming from, i have been talking with several of his top advisers. over the last week repeatedly and how in the process of them working on this transition stuff, and when it came to pompeo, i was told that many people in trump's inner circle and his orbit believe that he did a really good job as trumps secretary of state and he deserved a seat at the table this time around. however, his relationship with donald trump is not what it once was. pompeo distanced himself from the former president after he had left office in 2021. donald trump has questioned whether or not pompeo would actually be loy

this decision to say that pompeo will have no role in another administration. as for haley, i think there is no secret that while she has come out and said that she supported donald trump, that she would vote for him, she wanted the party to unify around donald trump, he still harbors a lot of animosity toward her for the attacks that she lobbed at him during that republican primary. it was a very bitter primary, and he believes that she stayed in it for too long, and that is something that donald trump remarks about behind closed doors. i think that is where you are seeing some of this coming from. now, as we look ahead to the next couple of days, i am told that we could expect some announcements about who will be in his cabinet, more cabinet positions have been announced as well as top white house positions, very soon. donald trump wants to get this first wave as they are describing, of hires, done as soon as possible. pamela? >> lane, thanks so much. >>> as president-elect trump prepares for his next administration, president biden and his team are moving qu

he's announced that neither his former secretary of state, mike pompeo, nor the former un ambassador,, will be part of the new government. ms haley described mr trump as unhinged when she ran against him in the republican primaries, although she eventually endorsed him. 0ur north america correspondent, peter bowes, sent this report. we have taken back control of the senate. wow. that's great. within hours of the polls closing early on wednesday morning, donald trump knew that he'd won. but the projected result from arizona, a state that he lost four years ago, completes the election count and gives him a clean sweep of the swing states. a final tally of 312 votes overall in the us electoral college, compared with 226 for vice president kamala harris. a thumping victory. the president elect is spending the weekend here at his home in florida, where he's working on who to appoint to the top jobs in his new administration. late last night, he took to social media to confirm two high—profile figures from his first presidency who won't be coming back. there will be no invitation for the fo

of course donald trump, mike pompeo, and -- this was another one. these are people behind the trump administration's very successful maximum pressure campaign, helping the israelis rather than fighting them all the time. iran responded, and i weakened iran. trying this group of people out of office and out of power. and iranian interference in elections. it didn't work because the trump administration is coming back at him, and a cast of characters with the same folks, may be the same people will be back in authority. there is a new sheriff in town in the united states. the regime knows it, and things will get tougher for them soon. >> i do worry about the officials that will be coming in? some of them don't have security. >> you know who does? thanks to this amazing work, we know that found she, taxpayer money, spend $15 million protecting anthony fauci. by the way, that was for eight and a half months this year alone from january through september. -- u.s. marshals. what's unknown is whether the contract was extended to. it remains to be seen whet

that includes mike pompeo and nikki haley. a lot of this comes down to who is loyal and who he can trust. both waited a long time to support him and donald trump has his own issues in those relationships. you are right in your assessment that he is valuing loyalty above all else. >> thanks so much. later on in the week, trump and biden will be meeting at the oval office. what do we know about the planned meeting? >> this is certainly a big moment for the out going president, the incoming president, and frankly the nation reeling after the divisive election season. this tradition of out going and incoming president to sit and talk in the oval office, that was notably one not afforded to biden in 2020 by trump as trump continued to fight the election results then. so the white house aides going into this meeting between biden and trump at the white house on wednesdaythey've been very explicit biden's message that he wants to deliver in the meeting is about the smooth transition of power, about the peaceful transition of power, h

conventional for him to creatively say nikki haley is not coming into the administration, or mike pompeoim and to his administration. 0ne be very important to him and to his administration. one of the issues that the previous administration had, including his chief of staff, his new chief of staff will contend with, is that at that time, donald trump tended to listen to the last person he spoke to but this loyalty issue, and i heard from friends of mine who worked for him, they had to take interviews and their loyalty was questioned and what that lead to, unfortunately, was people who would feign a loyalty they didn't have which contributed to some of the chaos we saw and so many of his former staffers would speak out in favour of paris because they were back conservative to begin with, and i think that this point he would have had to learn that that can't be the main test of somebody who works for home, are they conservative? are they going to be instituting his agenda? not how much did they seem to publicly support him recently. thank you very much. over 100,000 people demonstrated on

and secretary pompeo advocated for me to get the position with president trump. the president approved and i get confirmed, which i, i thought it was going to be. and the then ranking member on the senate foreign relations committee, bob menendez, said on cnn the day before my confirmation hearing that it was going to be brutal and it wound up being okay and i get confirmed in a bipartisan vote. and in december of 2000, 19 became u.s. ambassador to the russian federation. well, an overnight success, clearly so let's talk about russia now. you know, russia has a long history variety of governments, and we have a kind of its current government. what's your view right now of russia's place in the world? and why is it why is it important, important kind of post-soviet union in its current form? well, i mean, there are several ways to consider this significance of the russian federation, its geographic scope, the fact that it has the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world, the fact that it is a one it has one of the five permanent seats on the u.n. security

bike pompeo made the plan with me. subject to all of these different things.ne thing that would not have happened, you take the military out last. we lost 13 lives in many people were obliterated. hundreds of people killed on both sides. crushing violent crime and giving police the support protection resources and respect they so dearly deserve. strengthening and modernizing our military. we will build a massive defense shield all around our country so for missile heads in our direction, enoch the hell out of it. ronald reagan wanted to do that years ago. he was right but we did not have the technology. you can shoot a pen out of this guy. it is incredible what they have been able to deal. it will all be made in the usa. made in the great commonwealth of pennsylvania. we will rebuild our cities including our capital in washington, d.c. we will get rid of all the graffiti. stopping the shootings in muggings. making it a great capital. beautiful capital again. we will teach our children to love our country honor our history and always respect our great american
