NEW YORK (AP) — Coverage of President-elect Donald Trump (all times EST):

Ray Washburne considered for secretary of interior

Updated 4:30 p.m.: President-elect Donald Trump is considering Dallas investor Ray Washburne as secretary of the interior.

That’s according to a person familiar with the deliberations who spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss the decision-making publicly.

Washburne, who worked on New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s presidential campaign before backing Trump, is a major GOP fundraiser.

He had previously been floated for commerce secretary.

Other candidates mentioned as potential candidates for the interior position include former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer.

Tulsi Gaggard discusses Syria with Trump

Updated 2:30 p.m.: A congressional Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee says she had a “frank and positive” conversation with President-elect Donald Trump about Syria.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii says in a statement Monday that she shared with Trump her opposition to creating a no-fly zone over Syria.

Gabbard says that would “lead to more death and suffering,” worsen the refugee crisis and strengthen the Islamic State group, as well as al-Qaeda. Gabbard says it could also bring the U.S. into direct conflict with Russia, “which could result in a nuclear war.”

Gabbard is also an Army National Guard major. She resigned her post in the Democratic National Committee earlier this year after endorsing Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton.

Trump’s aides say the president-elect wants to hear viewpoints from across the political spectrum.

Scott Brown, Mary Fallin meet with Trump

Updated 12:05 p.m.: Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin says she “discussed a wide range of issues” with President-elect Donald Trump but that she has not yet been offered a post in his administration.

Fallin, a Republican, is being considered to head the Interior Department, according to Trump aide Kellyanne Conway. Fallin met with Trump at Trump Tower on Monday and said they had a “wonderful discussion.”

Her meeting with Trump came after he sat down with former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts. Brown indicated he is under consideration to become Veterans Affairs secretary.

Brown, a Republican and member of the Army National Guard, told reporters he believes he is “the best person” for the job. He said his priorities would be to combat veterans’ mental health issues in hopes of preventing suicides.

Trump to spend Thanksgiving in Florida

Updated 11:10 a.m.: President-elect Donald Trump will spend Thanksgiving at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Vice President-elect Mike Pence is travelling to Mississippi, where his son is stationed, for the holiday.

That’s according to Jason Miller, a spokesman for Trump’s transition team.

Pence’s son, Michael, is a Marine who is training to be a pilot.

Miller said Trump will get together with family at his Palm Beach home and take a brief break from transition planning. Asked what Trump will be doing, Miller said, “hopefully eating some turkey.”

‘Hamilton’ actor says no apology is coming

Updated 7:50 a.m.: If Donald Trump is waiting for an apology from the cast of “Hamilton,” he will continue to wait.

Actor Brandon Victor Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr in the celebrated musical, told “CBS This Morning” that “there’s nothing to apologize for.” Dixon gave Vice President-elect Mike Pence an onstage earful about equality at the end of Friday’s performance.

Trump has taken to Twitter to demand an apology.

Dixon said “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda had a hand in crafting Dixon’s remarks, although Dixon said he “made some adjustments.”

Dixon said Monday that both Trump and Pence are welcome to come back stage and meet with the cast at any time, adding, “Art is meant to bring people together.”

Conway says Trump’s tweets ‘cut through the nonsense’

Updated 7:45 a.m.: Kellyanne Conway, a top aide to Donald Trump, says the president-elect will continue to use his Twitter account to “cut through the nonsense” and draw attention to his plan for the country.

Trump tweeted nine times this weekend, twice about his transition plans. The other tweets complained about a skit on “Saturday Night Live,” the cast of the Broadway hit “Hamilton,” Sen. Harry Reid and his fraud case with Trump University.

When CNN’s Chris Cuomo noted that most of his tweets didn’t draw attention to his plan for the country, Conway asked: “Why do you care?”

She said Trump isn’t focused on division: “This network and other people will always be focused on divisions. How about accepting the election results, Chris, and letting him form a government?”

Trump reports he’s making deals

Updated 7:30 a.m.: President-elect Donald Trump is casting himself as the dealmaker-elect following a weekend of meetings.

With people coming and going at a New Jersey golf club, Trump says he’s made “a couple of deals” as he and his transition team consider Cabinet posts and other administration positions.

Two names emerging from those sessions are Mitt Romney as a potential secretary of state and retired Marine Gen. James Mattis as a prospect for defense secretary.
