[END TAPE]KRISTEN WELKER:According to the Washington Post, President-elect Trump plans to fire the team that worked with the special counsel. So, I think President Trump is picking reformers for these Cabinet positions. After the midterms Joe Biden said that there was no way President Trump would ever be back in the White House. He's going to sign some executive actions, but he's also going to then begin to roll out this plan. I also think he's going to face some skepticism by Republicans on using the military, for instance, going kind of into different states.

“The voices of students have grown even more clear, particularly in the last few years,” Allen told CNN in an interview, pointing to the protests following George Floyd’s murder and the Black Lives Matter movement. Among those issues, according to people familiar with the discussions, was student worry that their achievements would be overshadowed by a stump speech. On this day, he’s a commencement speaker for these young men, and that’s what he plans to do – be a commencement speaker,” Benjamin told CNN in an interview. At Morehouse, Biden’s broader economic message touting the expansion of the middle class is likely to hit home, according to Allen.

Former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said it's unfair to say the Biden administration is "lax" on immigration. Johnson added that border security is a lot tougher since he served as DHS Secretary eight years ago. His remarks come as several GOP governors began sending migrants to northern US cities.
