Ensconced back in his Manhattan high rise, President-elect Donald Trump is meeting with Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin and former Texas governor and GOP presidential rival Rick Perry.
That’s according to top aide Kellyanne Conway. She tells Fox News on Monday that Perry is a possible contender to lead the Defense or Energy departments and that Fallin is being considered to head the Interior Department.
Both are seen going into Trump Tower.

“We’ve made a couple of deals,” Trump told reporters at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club on Sunday. He gave assurances that “incredible meetings” would be bringing “incredible people” into the government. “You’ll be hearing about them soon.”
In a separate interview on CNN, Conway says Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker is “rumored” to be on the list for secretary of state. Mitt Romney, a former Trump critic, has been discussed as a contender for that job as well.
Conway warns against drawing any conclusions from Trump’s meetings. She said: “Not everyone who consults with the president-elect or meets with him is going to be in his cabinet.”
