President-elect Donald Trump is holding another round of meetings at his New Jersey golf club with people who could fill out his cabinet.

The meetings come as Trump told reporters outside the clubhouse on Sunday that he was getting very close on new appointments.

Among those who met with Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence on Sunday were Hollywood talent agent Ari Emmanuel. His brother, Rahm Emanuel, was President Barack Obama's chief of staff and now the mayor of Chicago. No details were given on what their meeting was about.

Peter Kirsanow, who is an attorney and member of the U.S. US Civil Rights Commission, also met with Trump and Pence. Kirsanow also served on the National Labor Relations Board during the George W. Bush administration.

Also on Sunday former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani arrived through a side door at the clubhouse. When reporters asked Trump what he planned on discussing with Giuliani, Trump smiled and replied, "Wouldn't you like to know."

Trump also met with billionaire investor Wilbur Ross as the president-elect searches for a secretary of commerce.

Asked Sunday if he's considering Ross for the post, the president-elect replied: "That's what we're looking for."

When asked by reporters what he thought comments made by the cast of "Hamilton," Trump said they were "very inappropriate."

He's demanded an apology for a message an actor delivered from the stage to Trump's running mate about the need for diversity in America. Pence who attended the Broadway play said he was not offended by the message.

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen prominent charter school advocate Betsy DeVos as his secretary of education, one of the first women selected for top-level administration posts in his new administration.

The Cabinet-level position requires Senate confirmation.

The DeVos choice faced criticism even before it was formally announced Wednesday.

Conservatives warned that DeVos, a longtime Republican donor, previously supported the Common Core education standards that Trump railed against during the campaign.

Trump, who was at his Palm Beach estate Wednesday for the Thanksgiving holiday, called DeVos "a brilliant and passionate education advocate."

DeVos, from Michigan, is a longtime advocate for charter schools and school vouchers. She currently leads the advocacy group, American Federation for Children, and sits on the board of the Jeb Bush-led Foundation for Excellence in Education.

DeVos said in her own statement, "The status quo in education is not acceptable."

DeVos was slow to warm to Trump.

She told The Associated Press in July, "A lot of the things he has said are very off-putting and concerning."

On Saturday, she met with the president-elect at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey.
