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.
Actually, Kellyanne went on MSNBC later this morning and addressed that by saying that Congress will follow Trump's lead on this because he's the party leader now. It sure sounds like he's going to let HRC off the hook.
If this turns out to be the case, then my confidence in him is completely shattered.
“He didn’t say anything about interfering”
Trump just rolled over for the MSM/NY Times on prosecuting the Clintons and on he Paris Climate agreement!! It is exactly what you are seeing... Reince Priebus told him not to meet with the Times...he went ahead anyway...
Trump just went rouge on all of us ( as well as the 3 people who got him where he is)...don’t try to make this ok with some talk about 3 dimensional chess...
KellyAnne Conway was blindsided by the Clinton statement when she was on MSNBC this morning...she had no idea that Trump had made the statement that he would back off the investigation...she played it the best she could...check out her words.
Trump made this decision himself behind the backs of Priebus, Conway and Bannon, and he stated that he doesn’t think his supporters would mind(think again Donald)..

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.
