Contacted by Jewish Insider on Tuesday to follow up on Trump’s statement, Foxman said, “It was a good beginning”.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a close ally of Trump’s who is vice chairman of the transition team, said that “there’s a tradition in American politics that after you win an election, you sort of put things behind you”.

Judicial Watch, a conservative group that has vigorously pursued probes into Clinton, also urged Trump not to drop his promise to investigate her. “I don’t want to hurt the Clintons, I really don’t…”
Republican Trump had vowed to jail Clinton and crowds at his rallies chanted “Lock her up”.

Look, we have people that are chopping off heads and drowning people in steel cages and we’re not allowed to waterboard. “And it’s much less expensive for their companies to produce products”.
“He truly doesn’t seem to understand the First Amendment”, the source said. The change may have come because someone in the campaign explained that libel law exists at the state level but not at the federal level, and therefore the president has no influence over it. “If, on the other hand, he wants to ask Ivanka about, should we improve relations with Cuba and possibly open investment opportunities for American hospitality businesses, he has to go to the White House counsel office”.

ON TECHNOLOGY: “In theory, I can be president of the United States and run my business 100 per cent, sign checks on my business, which I am phasing out of very rapidly, you know, I sign checks, I’m the old-fashioned type”.
