In an episode of her online radio show, SiriusXM's Nikki Haley Live, on Wednesday, former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley claimed that Trump's transition team spoke to her asking for advice about who should be in Trump's cabinet, although she said she made it clear she did not want to take a position in the administration.

She also indicated that the way Trump handled saying she would not be in the administration was "shallow."

"I had no interest in being in [Trump's] cabinet. He knew that," Haley said.

Haley said Trump confidant (and incoming special envoy to the Middle East) Steve Witkoff spoke to her saying he "wanted a truce between me and Donald Trump. And I told him at the time, there was no truce needed, that I had -- that Trump had my support, there was no issues [sic] on my end," Haley said.

"And at that point he was like, 'What do you want? Tell me what you want. Is there anything you want?' And I said, 'There's nothing I want.' And there wasn't anything I wanted."

She said that later that she spoke directly with Trump transition director Howard Lutnick to give advice.

ABC News has reached out to the Trump transition team about Haley's claims.

With both Florida Reps. Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz being tapped for President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced on X on Thursday morning that he's instructed Florida's secretary of state to make a schedule for the special elections to replace them.

"Congratulations to the Floridians being appointed to key positions in the Trump Administration: Senator Marco Rubio, Congressman Matt Gaetz, and Congressman Mike Waltz," DeSantis wrote on X. "I've instructed Secretary of State Cord Byrd to formulate and announce a schedule for the upcoming special elections immediately."

However, DeSantis' post did not mention anything about when these elections could happen.

President-elect Donald Trump is considering his top defense attorney for the second highest position in the Department of Justice, sources tell ABC News.

Todd Blanche, who represented Trump in the hush money case and in both of Jack Smith's federal probes, is being considered as the deputy attorney general, multiple sources said.

Blanche had been widely speculated to join Trump in the federal government in some form.

The position would need Senate confirmation.

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, Trump's pick for attorney general, offered his resignation from Congress earlier Wednesday -- effective immediately, House Speaker Mike Johnson announced.

Johnson said the resignation took him by "surprise" but that the Florida congressman did so to "start the clock" on the process for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to call a special election to fill his vacancy.

"We're grateful for that so we move forward," Johnson said.

The move slims the new House GOP majority.

Johnson did not weigh in on the House Ethics Committee probe into Gaetz that will now cease with no report released, as Gaetz is no longer a member of Congress.
