Trump met Monday with retired Gen. David Petraeus, who many also believe to be in the mix for the position.

Giuliani is one of Trump’s closest allies and was once considered the front-runner for the role, but Trump’s inner circle has been publicly feuding in recent days over who should be appointed to lead the State Department.

Former campaign manager Kellyanne Conway has been a vocal opponent of nominating Romney and questions his loyalty after the former Massachusetts governor denounced Trump throughout the campaign.

There have been conflicting reports about Trump’s feelings on her airing her grievances. An MSNBC report said Trump is “furious” over Conway’s comments. But spokesman Jason Miller said on Fox News Monday night that Conway asked for Trump’s permission before going public and Conway herself backed that up in a telephone interview with The New York Times.
