him from doing business deals he wants to be doing. reporter: a trump spokesman tells us that s never been discussed. one source tells cnn jared kushner had nothing to do with pushing out chris christie s allies. kushner himself did not comment for our story. wolf. brian todd reporting. joining me now republican congressman sean duffy. do these reports of infighting within the trump campaign, the transition process right now, concern you? no. listen, donald trump is an outsider. he isn t a d.c. guy who knows how d.c. works. that s why america elected him. we re eight days on, wolf. it takes a little bit of time for donald trump to get his sea legs under him. you have people jockeying for positions. and donald trump, as a business guy, has hired a great team that s helped him be very successful. he is going to go through a step-by-step process to get the best people in the top positions to help him be effective as the
united states interest and our allies. reporter: trump has not outlied how that cooperation would square his promises to get tough on assad s main backer, iran. trump promised to crack down on iran s aggressive behavior in the region, with you working with russia would leave assad in position in the region.ran s - very dangerous situation unfolding very much. thank you very much for that report. coming up, the latest from our sources inside donald trump s transition team. are things going as smoothly as the president-elect insists? for millions of baby boomers there s a virus out there. a virus that s serious, like hiv, but it hasn t been talked about much. a virus that s been almost forgotten. it s hepatitis c. one in 30 boomers has hep c, yet most don t even know it. that s because hep c can hide in your body silently
