Pompeo confident of 'smooth transition' into second Trump term

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo brushed off a question about whether the State Department is standing in the way of a successful transition by incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden.

Pompeo told reporters Tuesday with a grin that the "transition" to a second Trump term would be "smooth," but later said the State Department was prepared for any eventuality.

"We're going to count all the votes. When the process is complete, there'll be electors selected. There's a process. The Constitution lays it out pretty clearly."
