Washington Week with The Atlantic

Trump's Transition: President-elect's legislative priorities

24m 30s

Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 45th president in less than two months, but before the inauguration, there is a lot of work to be done. The president-elect met with a parade of cabinet hopefuls this week and began to name some of his top advisers. They'll help Trump implement his legislative priorities, which in some cases are very different than the promises he made on the campaign trail.

Aired: 11/24/16
