Reporter after a week of tough headlines about a transition in disarray, Vice President elect mike pence touted the team taking shape. Attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions was the first senator to endorse mr. Trump. This is a movement. Look at whats happening. Reporter sessions, 69, has served in the senate for 20 years, a hard liner on immigration, sessions also voted against the 2009 hate crimes bill and reauthorizing the sessions 1986 nomination to be a federal judge failed when a witness at his Senate Confirmation hearing testified that sessions said he thought the ku klux klan was okay, equal he learned they smoked marijuana. And a former African American employee said sessions told them be careful what you say to white folks. Sessions denied the comments, and also that he accused groups like the n. A. A. C. P.

Does that make the positions unamerican . No. Reporter mr. Trumps pick for National Security adviser, retired Lieutenant General michael flynn, led intelligence in afghanistan and iraq after the 9 11 attacks. He then served as the head of the Defense Intelligence agency. The president of the united flynn was also an early trump supporter. On twitter, flynn called fear of and frequent presence on the campaign trail. On twitter, flynn called fear of muslims rational, and in a february 2015 interview with charlie rose, criticized president obama for not using the phrase radical islamic terrorism. You know, lets get off the dime and just call it like it is. Which is, just one more time. Islamic extremism. Reporter kansas congressman mike pompeo, the president director, serves on the Intelligence Community and has called the end of the spy agencys enhanced Interrogation Program a mistake. He also wants to keep the prison in guantanamo bay, cuba open. Pompeo was a coauthor of a republican report critical of state Department Actions before the 2012 benghazi terror attacks that killed four americans, including u. S. Ambassador chris stevens.

Dickerson Major Garrett for us in washington, thanks, major. So what did the democrats think of mr. Trumps choices . Nancy cordes is following that. You dont want someone, frankly, that can be a hot head at times or erratic. Reporter like many democrats, californias adam schiff used the word alarming today to describe the choice of mike flynn for National Security adviser. Lieutenant general dined with Vladimir Putin in moscow. His views on russia ought to concern us all, like the president elect, hes been an apologist for the kremlin. Reporter democrats were just as critical of senator Jeff Sessions, tapped for attorney general. The Congressional Black Caucus called his civil rights record appalling. Luis gutierrez of illinois said, if you have nostalgia for the days when blacks kept quiet and gays were in the closet, then senator sessions is your man. I think thats just false. Reporter William Smith years. To democrats who say he has a past of making racist statements, you say . I say they have they dont know senator sessions that well. They havent been around him. They havent worked with him. Hes a fine guy, never said anything inappropriate, and to chase something thats 30 years old i think is inappropriate. Reporter there was less strife over c. I. A. Pick mike pompeo. Democrats called the congressman bright and hard working and republicans hailed him as a those same republicans were silent about flynn, who, unlike the other two, will not need to be confirmed by congress. In reality, democrats dont have the numbers to block any of these appointments if republicans stick together, right . Thats right. If the republicans stick together, the president will be able to, essentially, put anyone he wants in these positions which is, if we need another illustration of just how much elections really matter. Reporter normally, republicans would need at least confirm these nominees, but when they controlled the senate a few years ago, democrats reduced the number of votes needed from 60 to a simple majority of 51. It was called the nuclear option, john, and its about to blow up in their faces. Dickerson nancy cordes, thanks so much, nancy. Well have a lot more on the transition and mr.
