No plan to pursue charges against Hillary
But after he defeated Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the Electoral College while losing the popular vote, Trump tweeted that the Electoral College is “actually genius” because it “brings all states, including the smaller ones, into play”.
Chants of “lock her up” were common at the GOP Presidential nominee’s campaign rallies, where he repeatedly used to call his Democratic rival “Crooked Hillary”.
“I don’t want to hurt them”, he said of the Clinton family.
Two people advising Trump’s transition team on energy and environment issues said they were caught off guard by his remarks.
– On the link between human activity and climate change.
On the matter of climate change, about which he had previously said he was considering America’s withdrawal from worldwide agreements, he appeared a little more thoughtful.
He said: ‘I’m a former U.S. Marine and the core values are honour, courage, commitment. “I have an open mind to it”. “Some, something. It depends on how much”, Trump said Tuesday when asked about the relationship between human activity and climate change, adding that he has “an open mind” regarding US participation in climate agreements with other countries.
Donald Trump appears to have softened his tone on whether climate change is really happening.
Trump also said he saw no potential conflicts of interest between his new job and his worldwide businesses, and he disavowed praise and support from extremist “alt-right” groups.
“The president of the U.S. is allowed to have whatever conflicts he or she wants, but I don’t want to do that”, he said, adding that Kushner, an observant Jew, “could be very helpful” in reconciling the longstanding dispute between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
The adviser, Kellyanne Conway, spoke of “charges” against Hillary Clinton but referred specifically to Trump sending a message to members of Congress, not the Justice Department. Adding to the debate is a group of computer scientists who are encouraging Clinton to demand a recount due to possible hacking or manipulation of votes in three states. “No, thank you”, he said he told Ayotte about a post in Trump’s Cabinet. For years, he has used his inspirational story to advocate for using educational and self-reliance to break the cycle of poverty in urban communities. Ben Carson as the head of HUD.
But he told the Times that he had a great meeting with Obama, whom he had never met before, after the election and that he “liked him a lot”.
But in the days since being elected president, Mr. Trump has backed down from that position.
The Clinton Foundation charity has also been scrutinized for donations it received, but there has been no evidence that foreign donors obtained favors from the State Department while Clinton headed it.
There have been moves to sway them to go against Trump. The Electoral College was a compromise – individual votes mattered, but those votes were slotted by state. And, since Trump has not held a news conference since his upset win two weeks ago, the entire political world was glued to Twitter through it all. The FBI looked into whether she or her aides mishandled classified information and concluded that no one should be charged.
All of these facts have caused liberals and Democrats to call for audits in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, three states that Trump won by a very narrow margin.
