"WASHINGTON — Former Gov. Rick Perry met Monday with President-elect Donald Trump in New York, stoking rumors that the Texan might find a plum posting in the administration of the man he once called a "cancer on conservatism."

Perry spent more than an hour at Trump Tower, joining a growing list of prominent politicos to make the pilgrimage to the iconic Manhattan skyscraper in search of a job.

Trump's transition team said in a statement late Monday that Perry and Trump discussed homeland security, border control, and illegal immigration. The conversation also covered the "Department of Homeland Security and Defense, ISIS, and America's place in the world."

Perry — who eventually became an enthusiastic Trump surrogate — has been floated for a number of Cabinet positions. Those could include postings over energy, agriculture or veterans affairs. The latest rumor pegs the Air Force veteran as a candidate for defense secretary."
