From what I’ve read, it looks like Trump is saying he won’t push for any further investigation. He didn’t say anything about interferring if someone else, like Congress or the DOJ want to.

Tweet from the NYT meeting:

Trump says "no" when asked if he is taking investigations off the table for Clintons but adds he doesn't want to "hurt the Clintons."

So investigations aren't off the table completely, but he's not going to "lock her up."

Remember there are already other investigations into the Clinton Foundation, so perhaps those need to run their course.

Here is my conspiracy theory on prosecuting Clinton.

Comey had the proof but it wasn’t going anywhere under Obama’s DOJ. I also think he was threatened.

After Trump won the election, a lot of things went dark. Few WikiLeaks about emails, no Veritas, and the angry FBI agents that were going to go public just stopped. Also, the Clinton Foundation is the bigger fish and will still get the Clintons.

I think Comey went to Trump after the election and told him to cool his jets on Clinton until after inauguration. Comey has what he needs to prosecute but didn’t want to waste his time under this administration and he was probably threatened. Nobody wants Obama to pardon her before they have a chance to prosecute.

Trump isn’t lying when he says he won’t prosecute. That’s not his job. He blasted Obama’s meddling with the DOJ and I don’t think he will do the same, no matter what he said about his administration not pursuing it. If there is enough evidence I think he will let the system work the way it’s supposed to while he stays out of it.
