WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on Donald Trump’s transition to the presidency (all times local):

8:05 a.m.

President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway says she expects that initial announcements of Cabinet choices could come “either before or after Thanksgiving” and says “it’s Donald Trump and Donald Trump alone who makes the ultimate decisions.”

Conway also says in a nationally broadcast interview she believes her boss is prepared for the weight of the presidency.

“I actually love seeing how engaged he is in the transition,” Conway told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program Thursday.
