Donald Trump on Friday announced Vice President-elect Mike Pence would take over transition planning from Chris Christie, a move that sources say reflect a diminished role for the New Jersey governor.
Sources tell NBC News that the controversy surrounding two former Christie aides being convicted in the closure of George Washington Bridge lanes was an issue, but more significant was Christie's failure to vocally defend Trump at key moments throughout the campaign.
Pence, meanwhile, increasingly earned Trump's trust and respect by becoming one of his more vocal defenders on the campaign trail.
Christie will remain a vice-chair, along with a number of other key campaign advisers, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Gen. Mike Flynn and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, among others.
"The mission of our team will be clear: put together the most highly qualified group of successful leaders who will be able to implement our change agenda in Washington," Trump said in a statement.

The media failed in their first phase, and that was to make sure Trump lost..the failed..MISERABLY..now on to phase two, call Trump a liar who won’t keep his campaign promises..make his supporters think he is a fraud and they were wrong to support him
I actually took the time to read this.
It says nothing of any substance.
MSM is MSM and will always be
Woman on Special Report called Jeff Sessions an insider. Yeah right
...They refuse to acknowledge the difference between the GOP and the GOPe...
I would like to fill the Cabinet starting with Jefferson as Secretary of State. Washington as Secretary of Defense, Madison or Adams on SCOTUS, Monroe as Interior Secretary, and so forth. But they are unavailable. Trump is not considering, thus far, anyone that is GOPe. Hope he doesn’t. He is looking first to those who will be capable, loyal to him, and the USA. The GOPe does not fit that criteria.
Cabinet has not been announced.
I trust Trump.
Everything he said to me he said in front of his family.
Time to put the MSM on ignore. Need to find truth elsewhere.
Pence will fill the positions with people who he knows he can trust to make the right decisions for the administration and not for the power it will bring them.
Great move by Trump, great move.
What’s he suppose to fill it with...clerks from Walmart??
Myron Ebell for instance is not part of that crowd.
No....he said what he said MANY times in the preceding months.
media again twisting the words, twisting the truth, and lying.
Big difference between McCain, and a Giuliani.
Most of it sounds good. But, Mike McCaul as HOmeland chief. This is the guy who tried to come up with a plan for “Comprehensive Immigration Border destruction”. He had a cosponsor in(of all people) Shiela Jackson Lee. Say it it ain’t so Donald!
It's just reorganizing after some discussion.
yea media lying about him now not getting rid of obama care,and yet some dopey ignorant fools will believe it.
When will people wake up that the media lies all the time.
I also took the time to read this ridiculous article. The headline in no way is congruent with the actual article.
Is simply a headline designed to malign Trump with us. NBC news article is as bogus as their Clinton +6 poll on election eve.
Cleaning up the mess created by the criminal crony class in both parties over a period of probably decades is a near impossible task.
I’m sure Trump will take a stab at it and I wish him luck but I doubt any single human being can drain a swamp that big ... even with help. And you know there are lots of people very personally invested in not draining the swamp and maintaining the status quo. Even people who say they will help may be working against him.
