Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has clarified his comments about a presidential transfer of power after earlier saying in apparent jest that “there will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration.”

Pompeo’s apparent joke during a press briefing sparked some concern, prompting Fox News’ Brett Baier during an interview on Nov. 10 to ask the secretary of state to clarify his remarks.
