Ben Carson hints at joining Trump administration

Donald Trump speaks to Ben Carson after receiving his endorsement at a campaign event in Palm Beach, Fla., in March. A day after President-elect Donald Trump announced that he is “seriously considering” Ben Carson to be his Housing and Urban Development secretary, the retired neurosurgeon briefly appeared to have accepted the offer. The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday afternoon that Carson’s business manager and spokesman, Armstrong Williams, confirmed that Carson had agreed to accept the HUD post in the Trump administration.
