With his inauguration less than seven weeks away, President-elect Donald Trump continues to receive a wide array of visitors and job applicants at his Fifth Avenue tower. Josh Robin reports on one meeting that has some hoping that the Republican changes his view on a key issue.
Look who strolled onto Trump Tower's marble floor. It's an unlikely pairing but former Vice President Al Gore says he's in a "sincere search for areas of common ground" with Donald Trump.
"I had a meeting beforehand with Ivanka Trump," Gore said. "The bulk of the time was with the president-elect, Donald Trump. I found it an extremely interesting conversation, and to be continued, and I'm just going to leave it at that."
That leaves unsaid how much the environmentalist Gore pushed Trump on action curbing pollution that leads to climate change.
Gore's advocacy is decades old.
Ivanka Trump is reportedly at least somewhat aligned on seeing the human effect on rising sea levels.
Her father's position could be malleable.
His environmental advisor is an outspoken skeptic.
And a 2012 Trump tweet that called "global warming" a concept "created by and for the Chinese," to damage American manufacturing alarms many.
But this transition is a potpourri of ideas. On the same day he huddled with Gore. Trump sat down with former New York State candidate for governor Carl Paladino.
He most certainly does not share Gore's beliefs about global warming.
"I just don’t believe that it was manmade and man-created," Paladino said.
Meanwhile, Trump's victory is the subject of a recount in two states — with the Green Party seeking a third in Pennsylvania.
There is every expectation that next month Donald Trump will be sworn in as the nation's 45th president. But there is the concern that not every vote was counted correctly.
Trump has said Stein is looking only to raise money.
And speaking of money, New York City is looking for reimbursements for all the security, sending a letter to the Obama administration.
"There is actually a pretty good track record on reimbursement but we got a lot of work to do," said Mayor Bill de Blasio.
There are also calls for Trump to move his transition office from a spot not as highly trafficked as Fifth Avenue.
No move is in sight. In fact trump is expected back at his home regularly even as president.
That likely means less access.
