Trump plans to drop Clinton email investigation

President-elect Donald Trump will not push the Justice Department to pursue criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for her email practices, a Trump spokeswoman said today. “I think Hillary Clinton still has to face the fact that a majority of Americans don’t find her to be honest or trustworthy, but if Donald Trump can help her heal, then perhaps that’s a good thing,” Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. On the campaign trail, Trump nicknamed his Democratic rival “Crooked Hillary” and said during a debate that if he won the presidency, she’d “be in jail.” “I think he’s thinking of many different things as he prepares to become the president of the United States, and things that sound like the campaign aren’t among them,” Conway said.
