Chris Christie: Trump administration departures go back to 'how poorly the transition was run'

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) said Sunday that President Trump's "poorly" run transition team is the root of high turnover rates in the Trump administration.

Christie's comments came during a discussion on ABC's "This Week" about the growing number of acting department officials in the Trump administration.

Last week Alexander Acosta announced he'd be stepping down as Labor Secretary amid growing scrutiny over his role in negotiating a plea deal for for Jeffrey Epstein, a financier accused of running a sex trafficking ring and abusing dozens of girls.

"It all goes back to the transition and how poorly the transition was run," Christie said on ABC. "These people were not vetted appropriately and the president ended up watching them in action. They were vetted while they were doing the jobs and they wound up being deficient, many of them."

Christie was the head of Trump's transition team until he was ousted days after the president's surprise victory.
