Trump backs away from some of his strident campaign promises

Republican President-elect Donald Trump defeated Democratic rival Hillary Clinton by 10,704 votes in the state of MI, according to certified unofficial county-by-county results released on Wednesday by the MI secretary of state.

Conway made the comments when asked if Trump would also encourage the GOP-led Congress to forgo potential investigations of Clinton.

During the campaign, Trump threatened Clinton repeatedly with further investigation of Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server as well as the fundraising practices of the Clinton Foundation.

During the election campaign, Trump vowed to put his Democratic presidential rival “in jail” over the matter. “I really don’t. She went through a lot and suffered greatly in many different ways. the campaign was vicious”, he said.

But he said he did not want to “hurt the Clintons” and wants to move on.

Trump said in an interview with CBS after the election that prosecuting Clinton would not be a priority.

Zephyr Teachout, a law professor at Fordham and former Democratic congressional candidate in NY, told the Times that there was not “a lot of precedent” regarding the Emoluments Clause’s relevance to Trump’s vast business empire.

There are now 12,000 votes between Trump and Clinton in MI, where the president-elect has thus far retained a lead. But he adds: “I think I’ve been treated very rough”.

Earnest says Trump indicated during their Oval Office meeting that he wanted the opportunity to consult with Obama during the course of the transition.

“We believe we ought to cover the president of the United States, and the president-elect, when they are doing the people’s business”, she said.

“And I was very impressed by that answer”, Trump said. Though members are celebrating his victory, he said, “It’s not a group I want to energize”. “These recounts are part of an election integrity movement to attempt to shine a light on just how untrustworthy the US election system is”, she said on her website.

On Tuesday, Trump told the Times he thinks there is “some connectivity” between human activity and climate change, reporter Mike Grynbaum tweeted.

“It’s not a group I want to energize”, he said. “I think the president-elect had a tough choice there, you could go either way”.

You see, my son is moving from the Seattle area to near Albany, N.Y. Washington State has 12 electoral votes, while NY has 29 – equal to Florida’s strength.

Schweizer looked ahead to the future of the Clintons after the election: “First of all, we know the Clinton Foundation donations were way off previous year, down by 37 percent, which is huge considering that she was gearing up for the presidential race”.

That outcome would leave Trump with 269 electoral votes, which would then result in the House of Representative determining the election.

Instead, the news came 140 characters at a time from the Twitter accounts of Times reporters like Maggie Haberman, Mike Grynbaum and Julie Davis, who were posting the President-elect’s remarks live. But the point is that the president and his administration can focus on jobs, trade, and other issues, and let the Federal Bureau of Investigation simply do its job.
