Trump won’t pursue criminal inquiry into Clinton

As Mr Trump prepares to take office in the White House, the President-elect has also confirmed he will take the first steps to bring the U.S. out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership as his preparations gather pace. Though no law exists to this effect, by tradition, the attorney general is an independent actor and the Department of Justice is an independent agency.

Trump has been promising to unite the country around his presidency, saying repeatedly he will be president of “all Americans”.

The disparity between Mr Trump’s taunts on the campaign trail and his approach now, Ms Conway suggested, is part of a purposeful shift away from at least the tone, if not the substance, of his past rhetoric.

During their second presidential debate in October, Trump told Clinton that, if elected, he would instruct his attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into her email practices when secretary of state.

This shouldn’t come as a shock, but it is epically disappointing to legions of Trump fans who chanted “lock her up!” at the billionaire’s rallies because that is one promise they seemed to treat not as a metaphorical pledge, but as one they believed he would deliver on.

A top adviser said Trump is now focused on matters that are essential in setting up his administration, not on comments he made during the heat of the campaign.

Trump singled out reporting of his campaign by CNN and NBC that he considered to be unfair, the Post said, citing four participants at the meeting in NY.

Meanwhile on The_Donald, the Donald Trump subreddit on which there is nearly never anything but universal praise for Trump, many were also taken aback by this news, with one user writing, “If Clinton does not get charged and indicted in the next 4 years, I will be very disappointed in [Donald Trump]”.

“In the end”, she said, “we concluded with them that we would go back to the original plan of a small off-the-record session and a larger on-the-record session with reporters and columnists”.

The Life of Donald Trump in milestones. “She’s guilty as hell”.

“I think the answer is yes”, she told Morning Joe. We want to have a great immigration bill. But the latest popular vote count Tuesday showed that while Clinton lost in the electoral college, far more people cast a ballot for her compared to the president-elect.
