| November 20, 2008 Aide: Obama on track to nominate Clinton
|
WASHINGTON (AP) - An aide to Barack Obama's transition team says
the president-elect is on track to nominate Hillary Rodham Clinton
as secretary of state after Thanksgiving.
One week after the former primary rivals met secretly to discuss
the idea of Clinton becoming the nation's top diplomat, the two
sides were moving quickly toward making it a reality barring any
unforeseen problems.
The transition aide said they have worked out financial
disclosure issues that involved her husband, former President Bill
Clinton, and the complicated international funding of his
foundation that operates in 27 nations. The aide said the two have
had substantive conversations about the post.
As for the incoming administration's national security team, the
aide said, possible appointments are being worked out and no formal
announcements will be made before Thanksgiving.
