New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was demoted.
Mr Christie, who was chief of the transition team, was replaced by Vice-President-elect Mike Pence.
Reports said Mr Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, a close confidant, had orchestrated the dismissals. Mr Kushner, the Harvard-educated son of a New Jersey real estate tycoon, married Mr Trump's daughter Ivanka in 2009.
In 2005, Mr Christie, then a federal prosecutor, put Mr Kushner's father in jail for two years on charges of tax evasion, witness tampering and offering illegal campaign donations. It was this grudge that got Mr Christie fired, reports said.
