CBS: O'Brien says Trump transfer of power "not something that's on the table" 

Washington — White House national security adviser Robert O'Brien said Sunday that a transfer of power from President Trump to Vice President Mike Pence is not "on the table right now" as Mr. Trump continues to receive treatment for COVID-19 at Walter Reed Medical Center. 

"That's not something that's on the table at this point," O'Brien said on "Face the Nation" when asked whether there have been discussions about handing the powers of the presidency to the vice president. 

"We have a great vice president, we have a government that is steady at the tiller." O'Brien said Mr. Trump will receive a national security briefing remotely Sunday afternoon and stressed that the government and the president are "doing well." 

"So far the president is in great shape. He's firmly in command of the government of the country," he said.
