Week In The News: Trump Transition, Obama Abroad, Gwen Ifill Dies (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Transition days at Trump Tower this week. Apparent turmoil at first. Now the names are flowing. Jeff Sessions for Attorney General. Kansas U.S. Rep. Mike Pompeo at CIA. General Michael Flynn for National Security Advisor. A very different crew. And Steve Bannon, with his alt-right ties, at the president-elect’s elbow On Capitol Hill, a Democratic challenge to Nancy Pelosi. And abroad, President Obama works to explain it all. This hour On Point, our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. — Tom Ashbrook
