Trump to meet again with Romney amid State talks
By Jonathan Swan - 11/28/16 10:51 AM EST
Donald Trump is meeting with Mitt Romney again on Tuesday, amid an ongoing brawl within his inner circle about the 2012 GOP nominee's suitability to be secretary of State.
Along with Romney, whose meeting was revealed in a transition team conference call on Monday morning, the president-elect will be meeting with other contenders for the high profile post.
Trump is meeting Monday afternoon with former CIA director David Petraeus, who is also believed to be in the running to head the State Department. Petraeus resigned and pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges after sharing classified documents with his biographer, with whom he was having an affair.
Trump is meeting another potential top contender on Tuesday: Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), who chairs the Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee and has been loyal to Trump throughout his campaign.
But it's the Romney meeting that will raise eyebrows. Kellyanne Conway, Trump's former campaign manager, has been attacking Romney publicly, saying he's been disloyal and suggesting he couldn't be trusted for the position. Other conservative leaders, including Brent Bozell, have been weighing in to try to stop Trump appointing Romney.
