INTERVIEW — ROBERT “BOB” COSTA – national political reporter at The Washington Post – discuss the latest Trump transition news

• The Washington Post announces 2017 Congress and federal government team. We are pleased to announce an expanded and reorganized Congress/PowerPost team that will give The Post a larger and more versatile presence on Capitol Hill at the start of the next administration than it has ever had before. Bob Costa’s instincts and deep sourcing inside Trump world landed us scoop after scoop over the course of this dramatic presidential campaign. Those talents will serve him well as he heads back to the Hill, where he will retain his title as national political reporter, focusing on the Ryan-Trump-McConnell relationship, collaborating regularly with our White House team and traveling the country to connect the politics of Washington with the rest of America.
• Costa was covering the Trump campaign this year, what does he think of how the transition and cabinet is coming together?
