A top Republican National Committee (RNC) official and CNN anchor Chris Cuomo sparred on Thursday over whether the transition has been transparent in explaining the plan for Donald Trump Donald John TrumpBiden on Trump's refusal to commit to peaceful transfer of power: 'What country are we in?'

During an interview on CNN’s “New Day,” Cuomo told RNC chief strategist Sean Spicer, who is advising the transition, that transparency is “woefully lacking.”

“First of all, we have been unbelievably transparent,” Spicer countered. “We have literally brought the press into meetings. We’ve listed the kids and Jared [Kushner] on websites.”

“What about what you’re hiding?” Cuomo asked.

The transition had planned to hold a press conference on Thursday to reveal how Trump would distance himself from his businesses to avoid conflicts. That event was later canceled and a new date was set for January.

Trump said earlier this week that the businesses would be managed by his two adult sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., but ethics experts have called for the business mogul to completely divest himself from his company.

Kushner and three of Trump's adult children attended a meeting for Silicon Valley business leaders at Trump Tower on Wednesday.

Spicer argued that details have taken longer than expected to hammer out because the transition has been busy filling out the Cabinet with the “best and brightest."
