(AP) – Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson says he won’t consider
serving in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration, despite speculation
the Republican governor could be tapped as attorney general.
When asked Wednesday whether he’d consider joining Trump’s cabinet, Hutchinson
quickly responded no. Then he quipped, “how’s that for clarity?”
Hutchinson is a former congressman who served as the head of the Drug
Enforcement Administration and later as undersecretary of the Department of
Homeland Security under former President George W. Bush. He was first elected
governor in 2014 and hasn’t said whether he’ll seek re-election in 2018, though
he’s widely expected to run.
