An aide to Barack Obama's transition team says
the president-elect is on track to nominate Hillary 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 are moving quickly toward making it a reality barring any
unforeseen problems.
The transition aide says they've 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 says the two have had substantive
conversations about the post.
As for the incoming administration's national security team, the
aide says possible appointments are being worked out and no formal
announcements will be made before Thanksgiving.
