President-elect Donald Trump indicated that he plans to push 100 — or around 100 — executive orders after assuming office, senators and reports have indicated, with the number varying slightly.
Trump, who will take office later this month on Jan. 20, met with Senate Republicans on Wednesday.
During a Thursday morning appearance on ‘Fox & Friends’ Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., said that Trump indicated that there are almost 100 executive orders to address issues like border security and U.S. energy.
‘He threw that out — 100 — there could be like 100 EOs, yeah. I believe him.’ Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., noted to The Hill.
Senators were provided previews regarding some of what they were informed would be 100 executive orders, two sources noted to Axios. Stephen Miller, who Trump has tapped to serve in his new administration, discussed plans for using executive authority to tackle border and immigration beginning day one, the outlet reported.
The Associated Press claimed that Trump is readying more than 100 executive orders beginning day one, and had informed GOP senators during the meeting. ‘There will be a substantial number,’ Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., noted according to the outlet.
Fox News Digital emailed a Trump spokesperson with a request for comment on Saturday, but did not receive a response in time for publication.
