Trump on Clinton Investigation: 'Not Something I’ve Given a Lot of Thought'

US President-elect Donald Trump said he had not given much thought to appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate his elections rival Hillary Clinton, a pledge he made during the campaign.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – During the second 2016 US presidential debate on October 9 in St. Louis, Missouri, Trump said if elected he would appoint a special prosecutor to look into the Clinton’s alleged crimes related to her use of a private server for official business during her tenure as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

Trump also mentioned a possible investigation of Clinton multiple times during his campaign rallies.

Republican candidate Trump gained 289 electoral votes, in the November 8 presidential election, 19 more than 270 needed to win.

"It’s not something I’ve given a lot of thought, because I want to solve health care, jobs, border control, tax reform," Trump told The Wall Street Journal in an interview released on Friday.

After he won the elections, his campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said there was no word on whether he would appoint someone to investigate Clinton.
