Uppgift: Sarah Palin kan bli USA:s veteranminister
Donald Trump överväger att utnämna den före detta vice presidentkandidaten Sarah Palin till veteranminister, skriver flera amerikanska medier.
Ministerposten ansvarar för bidrag och sjukvård för amerikanska krigsveteraner, samt minnesceremonier och kyrkogårdar för stupade soldater. Palins största utmanare för posten uppges vara senatorn Scott Brown.
Trumps stab uppskattade stödet som den tillträdande presidenten fick från Palin under valkampanjen, vilket de tror kan ha bidragit till hans framgångar, skriver Politico.
