Donald Trump will reportedly not pursue Clinton investigations

Donald Trump will reportedly not pursue criminal investigations into Hillary Clinton when he is president, despite vowing to go after her with a special prosecutor when he was campaigning during the general election.

Morning Joe broke the news, with co-host Mika Brzezinski reporting Trump allegedly feels that Clinton has "been through enough." A person familiar with Trump's plans revealed to the show that Trump would not pursue Clinton over either her private email server or the Clinton Foundation.

Just weeks ago, Trump had mocked Clinton during the third presidential debate, claiming she would "be in jail" if he was in charge of the United States' laws. "Lock her up" was also a favorite chant of Trump's rallies throughout his presidential campaign.

Update 8:32 a.m.: Trump's former campaign manager Kellyanne Conway confirmed Morning Joe's reports on the show. "I think when the president-elect, who's also the head of your party, tells you before he's even inaugurated that he doesn't wish to pursue these charges, it sends a very strong message, tone, and content [to Congress]," she said, adding, "if Donald Trump can help [Clinton] heal, then perhaps that's a good thing to do."
