He’s trying to galvanise a group of electors to join forces in a bid to avoid a Trump presidency. The man in the video is Richard Spencer, widely credited with creating the term alt-right. “Look, I want to move forward, I don’t want to move back.

“I was very impressed by that answer”, Trump said, adding that torture is “not going to make the kind of a difference that a lot of people are thinking”.
Following the outcome of the presidential election – which surprised pundits and voters alike – many people in major cities including Los Angeles and NY protested against Trumps win, carrying banners reading not my president. Carson is expected to respond after the holiday.
His senior adviser, KellyAnne Conway, has indicated he will not push for further investigations into Ms Clinton’s email practices nor the often-targeted Clinton charity foundation. Trump said during the campaign that Clinton would “be in jail” if he were president, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation director has declared on two occasions there is no evidence warranting charges over her use of a private email account.

The news came after a rough campaign where Clinton faced an FBI investigation into classified information sent and received on her private email server. He suggested there may be a possible connection between human activity and global warming to The Times.
“Imagine the analogous situation with Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton being on phone calls”, he noted.
At least six electors – members of the Electoral College whose votes elect the President – have vowed to cast their ballots in an attempt to block Donald Trump from winning an Electoral College majority, Politico reported Tuesday.
There have been concerns raised about conflicts of interest since numerous businesses are subject to government actions in the US and overseas. “I would be guided by that”, Trump said. “There’s never been a case like this”, he said.
