Washington Week with The Atlantic

Trump's remaining 600+ vacancies

8m 24s

It's just two weeks from Inauguration Day, but Donald Trump still has over 600 Senate-confirmable nominees to announce. His skeleton White House staff includes 22 top-level advisers, many of whom lack experience in executive governing. Next week, the Senate will begin confirmation hearings on several cabinet officials.

Aired: 01/05/17
