Asked if Trump might disclose Cabinet choices as soon as Thursday, Conway said, "It’s possible, but I think basically before or right after Thanksgiving is probably more appropriate in terms of finding out."

Earlier in the day, Trump posted a Twitter message claiming his transition team was doing “a fantastic job” and that it “will be seeing many great candidates today.”

​The incoming president needs to nominate people for more than a dozen Cabinet spots, including key posts such as secretaries of state and defense. The nominations are subject to approval by the US Senate.
