The New York Times is reporting that Hillary Clinton has accepted the position of Secretary of State in the Obama administration. This was confirmed to the Times by "two confidants" who insisted on remaining anonymous. According to the representatives of Clinton's office they are still in discussions on the matter and any reports beyond that are premature. However, according to unnamed Clinton and Obama confidants they have all the grounds to believe that President-elect Obama will make an announcement on Clinton's appointment, the AP reports.
