New: Republicans on House Ethics have canceled their meeting tomorrow with Dems that was expected to address the long-awaited report on Matt Gaetz The GOP members huddled privately Thursday night. Those lawmakers declined to comment as they left the meeting W/@sarahnferris

Fox @BretBaier asks Thune about recess appointments for Trump nominees: 'It's an option, but you have to have all Republicans vote to recess.' Says GOP senators who oppose Gaetz nomination would likely also object to recess. Plus, 'you have to have concurrence from the House.'

Notably, it seems the Kennedy-Trump relationship had grown in a manner where it ultimately didn’t matter which way the transition team was leading — Trump (and many others high up in his orbit) wanted him picked, and made it happen:

Lutnick: "He’s not getting a job for HHS." Me: "He would not be in charge of HHS?” “No,” Lutnick said, “of course not."



This was somewhat expected (if you’re reading Semafor) — we reported earlier this week that appetite inside Trumpworld, and with Trump himself, had grown for him to be tapped for a Senate-confirmed position: semafor.com/article/11/12/…

Trump says Jamie Dimon “will not be invited to be a part of the” administration. There’d been some speculation he could be in the mix for treasury, but he’d indicated he planned to stay at JPMorgan Chase:

Via @burgessev @lizrhoffman: “Sen. Lindsey Graham is pushing for fellow South Carolinian Scott Bessent to be Donald Trump’s next Treasury secretary, which would fend off a late charge by Howard Lutnick and end a waiting game on Wall Street.” semafor.com/article/11/14/…

What I’m hearing privately from a few key GOP senators: yes, they’d prefer to not have a messy fight over Gaetz. Not their favorite. But they also don’t have a lot of energy for pushing back. Trump runs the show, they say. If Gaetz can reassure them, they’re open to backing him.


Alina Habba, whose name has been floated for press secretary in Trump’s incoming administration, says she is not considering the role. “I will be better served in other capacities,” she says.

While I am flattered by the support and speculation, the role of Press Secretary is not a role I am considering. Although I love screaming from a podium I will be better served in other capacities. This adminstration is going to be epic! So proud of the Trump team, the latest…

Confirming @ShelbyTalcott scoop. Gor declined to comment when asked…
