Hours after a Trump aide said that his administration would not seek charges against Hillary Clinton, the President-elect confirmed those sentiments in his own words.

Two people advising Trump’s transition team on energy and environment issues reportedly said they were caught off guard by his remarks. “He called the newspaper failing, a favorite insult”. In a calm and deliberate voice, he told the group sitting around a conference table that they had failed to provide their viewers with fair and accurate coverage, and told them they failed to understand him or his appeal to millions of Americans. But ethics experts have said even that arrangement might not work for Trump because it would be impossible for him to forget where his physical properties are.

After a campaign filled with Donald Trump’s denunciations of “Crooked Hillary” Clinton, the president-elect declared Tuesday that “I don’t want to hurt the Clintons; I really don’t”, and a top adviser said he had no interest in pursuing further investigations.

Donald Trump said Tuesday his presidency would not be marred by conflicts of interest stemming from his business empire, but he was vague on what he would do to ensure this. “And I’m angry-I won’t hold them as the killers, they don’t need to go to prison, we don’t need internment camps-but I am absolutely angry, shocked and outraged at the Muslim community and I do think they bear some responsibility”.

Trump began by addressing his relationship with the Times itself, which earlier today he called “failing”.

“Breitbart is just a publication”. “I think there is some connectivity”, president-elect Donald Trump, 70, said while meeting with The New York Times on November 21. It’s got readers, and it does cover subjects on the right, but it covers subjects on the left also. “It’s a pretty big thing”.

Trump’s decision to remain a semi-staple of New York City’s midtown district-an incredibly populous area in one of the world’s most populous cities-has a number of downsides, especially for the people Trump claimed to represent during his campaign: the little guy, the common people, the small business owners.

Trump also tweeted that the meeting was back on, saying he was “looking forward to it”.

The Times announced the meeting on Monday.

The New York Times responded to Trump’s tweets Tuesday morning, claiming they did not “change the ground” rules, as Trump had claimed.

“We were unaware that the meeting was cancelled until we saw the President Elect’s tweet this morning”. The Constitution however does say no one in a federal office can accept any present or “emolument” from a foreign state.

On Monday, the Times reported that Trump spoke to British political figure Nigel Farage, the former head of the right-wing UK Independence Party, about opposing the construction of offshore wind farms in the UK.

In terms of national security, Trump promised to ask the Department of Defense to develop a plan to protect American infrastructure “from cyberattacks and all other forms of attacks”.

Trump said “no” when asked if he would rule out investigating Clinton over her family’s charitable foundation or her use of a private email server while she was USA secretary of state, according to Twitter posts from reporters at the interview.

She said Trump’s representatives had asked only for a private meeting, with nothing on the record.

During his presidential campaign, Trump repeatedly said he would withdraw from the Paris climate accord.

The sources said he also answered questions, listened to journalists’ arguments about the importance of access, and committed to making improvements.
