WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump transition team is considering a former Uber executive and three current or former Republican congressmen - one of whom is now a Fox News host - to lead the U.S. Department of Transportation, eight sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Emil Michael, a Trump donor and technology entrepreneur who knows Elon Musk socially, has emerged as a leading contender, three of the sources said. Tech executives who backed Trump have advocated for the former Uber executive, two of the sources said.
