Trump to hold first Cabinet meeting at the White House
CBSN
Washington — President Trump is holding his first Cabinet meeting at the White House on Wednesday, with his Cabinet nominees largely confirmed.
Billionaire and senior Trump adviser Elon Musk, who is not a Cabinet member, will also be present, the White House confirmed Monday. Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social Wednesday that "ALL CABINET MEMBERS ARE EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH ELON. The Media will see that at the Cabinet Meeting this morning!!!"
That declaration comes as Musk is looking to slash federal departments and agencies. He has said federal employees must respond to an email by describing five things they accomplished last week or face termination, clashing with directives from some Senate-confirmed agency heads and sparking confusion among federal workers. Multiple heads of departments told their employees that they could ignore the demand from the Office of Personnel Management.
