Report: VP-elect Pence to Lead Trump Transition Team

by VOA News

   Reports say U.S. vice president-elect Mike Pence will be given control
   of President-elect Donald Trump's transition team, rather than New
   Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who has been running the transition.

   The New York Times reported the development Friday, citing sources
   close to the Trump campaign.

   Trump is reported to have told advisers that he wanted to use Pence's
   Washington experience to aid a swift transition in January. The report
   said an executive committee that includes members of Congress will
   advise Pence on the process.

   Christie is expected to serve as one of the vice chairmen of the
   transition team, along with former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani.
