A Treasury Secretary named. I'm Debra Valentine, Fox News. President-elect Trump's tapped Scott Besant as Secretary of the Treasury and continues to shape up his new cabinet, as though of other nominees announced. But as Fox's Ryan Schmelz reports from Washington, there's still more to come. Reports say former Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler has been tapped as the nominee for Secretary of Agriculture.
Loeffler is a businesswoman who grew up on a family farm in Illinois and served on the Agriculture Committee during her time in the Senate. On Thursday, the president-elect announced former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi would replace Matt Gaetz as his nominee for Attorney General.
The transition team says nominees will continue meeting with senators after the Thanksgiving recess. Those meetings have been led by Vice President-elect and current Ohio Senator J.D. Vance. In Washington, Ryan Schmelz, Fox News. President-elect Trump announcing Friday he's also nominating Representative Lori Chavez, drummer for Secretary of Labor.
President-elect Trump's sentencing is delayed in his New York civil trial for falsifying business records. Fox's Nate Foy has the latest. Trump's team is celebrating this as a win. Here's where we stand right now. Sentencing is delayed with President-elect Donald Trump's lawyers set to file their motion to dismiss the case by December 2nd. Then Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg's office needs to respond.
To that, by December 9th, separately, Judge Mershon is pushing off his decision on presidential immunity. Trump's lawyers, including his pick for deputy attorney general Todd Blanch, wrote Mershon this week, arguing the case interferes with Trump's preparations to return to the White House. But prosecutors want to stretch the case out more than four years and sentence Trump after his second term. Trump's attorneys argue that Judge Mershon should overturn the guilty verdict altogether on the grounds of prosecution.

Republican lawmakers are quick to make cuts to federal spending, targeting jobs they feel are unnecessary. Fox Business's Hillary Vaughn has the latest from Capitol Hill. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene says she cannot wait to get to work gutting useless government agencies that she says is wasting taxpayer money. Greene does have a business back
She ran a construction company, so she's no stranger to using the power tools which may be necessary for the sizable amount of cutting that needs to be done from the government budget. Green saying one of the top orders of business will be giving people the pink slip, saying this, quote, in government, bad employees, whether they're failing to do the job they were hired to do or working in roles that are no longer needed, never get fired. This is incredibly unfair to the hardworking taxpayers of our country, and it's about to change.
Green and Comer have already met with Vivek Ramaswamy and the Doge team. They're going to be working hand in hand to find every wasted penny. The Department of Government Efficiency is set to be led by Tesla founder Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.
The Biden administration is planning to use technology that will allow migrants to check in remotely instead of at their local ICE office. Fox's Mark Meredith reports from Washington. The outgoing administration intends to launch an ICE portal app starting next month in New York City, which will allow migrants to bypass in-person check-ins for their local ICE office. Now, some argue if this is implemented, it'll make it easier for some people to flee without being tracked.
given the technology being deployed is still somewhat unreliable. The pressure is building on the left to try and curb future immigration crackdowns coming from the Trump administration. This week, the ACLU called on Biden to act, writing, Biden needs to close detention facilities and halt ISIS current detention expansion plans. This as a migrant caravan is currently moving through Mexico, heading towards the U.S. southern border.
