President-elect Donald Trump will meet with Chris Christie on Sunday, an indication of how Trump is maintaining ties to the New Jersey governor despite removing him as the head of his transition team.
Earlier this year, Trump tapped Christie, a longtime friend and fellow Republican primary contender, to lead the massive task of preparing for the White House.
But as Politico reported, Trump lost confidence in Christie after two of his former allies were convicted in the Bridgegate scandal and as concerns mounted that he was mismanaging the transition process.
Since then Vice President-elect Mike Pence has taken over planning for the next administration, and many allies of the governor have been purged out of the team.
Other meetings on the President-elect’s schedule for this weekend include:
· Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a strong critic of Trump during the primary
· Michelle Rhee,
· Betsy DeVos,
· Todd Ricketts,
· Bob Woodson
· Lew Eisenberg
· Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong
· John Gray
· Kris Kobach
· Wilbur Ross
· Chris Christie
· Rudy Giuliani
· Robert Johnson
· David McCormick
