Trump 'landing teams' preparing to hit State, Justice, Defense Departments

[Geee]

:

Members of President-elect Trump's transition team announced Wednesday evening that they will soon unveil a series of "landing teams" designed to prepare federal agencies as the government changes hands.

 

"It consists of folks that will go to those agencies ... and help to facilitate the transitions," said Sean Spicer, spokesman for the Republican National Committee, on a conference call with reporters.

 

Spicer said the transition team will announce the make-up of four national security teams on Thursday. Respectively, the teams will focus on preparing the State Department, Justice Department, Defense Department and National Security Council for the incoming Trump administration.

 

Next week, Trump's transition staff will reveal an economic landing team and a domestic policy landing team, Spicer and transition communications director Jason Miller said.

Trump names landing teams for 6 more agencies

 

President-elect Trump's transition staff dispatched six additional "landing teams" to federal agencies on Monday, bringing the total number of teams sent to facilitate the changing of power at various departments to 10.

 

The newly-unveiled teams will head to the Department of Commerce, Social Security Administration, Department of the Treasury, Federal Communications Commission, Small Business Administration and the office of the U.S. Trade Representative.

 

Trump's staff also announced additions to the State Department, Pentagon and Justice Department landing teams, which headed to Washington last week.

 

The six groups made public Monday were part of the economic "bucket" of teams Trump's transition staff had previewed last week.
