The Trump transition team announced Wednesday evening that people who join the administration will have to adhere to a lobbying ban: there will be no one hired who is a current registered lobbyist, and no lobbying will be allowed for five years after leaving government. It’s an attempt, according to transition and RNC spokesman Sean Spicer, to ensure that those leaving government will not be able to immediately enrich themselves off their service.

President-elect Trump met Wednesday with several people who are either advising him on the transition or who are being considered for cabinet posts in his administration:

Rep. Tom Price, R-Okla.



Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kansas



Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama



Eva Moskowitz, the CEO of a charter school network



Gen. Mike Flynn (ret.)



Steve Feinberg, investment firm CEO and financial backer of Trump



In Washington, Vice President-elect Pence met with Vice President Biden, and had what the team said was an excellent meeting.
