Hutchinson won't mull serving in Trump cabinet

3667835


     (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.
