Jason Miller of the Trump transition team walks us through the president-elect's days in Trump Tower - including Donald Trump's conversations with vanquished rivals. Miller tells Rick Klein, Shushannah Walshe, and John Santucci that Trump's children will continue to be consulted for advice and counsel.
