"If Mr. Trump’s appointees continue the Obama administration’s politicized spiking of a criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton, it would be a betrayal of his promise to the American people to ‘drain the swamp’ of out-of-control corruption in Washington, DC," Fitton stated on Tuesday.
Fitton was issuing a response to reports earlier on Tuesday that Trump had told senior editors, executives and reporters of the New York Times that he believed Clinton had suffered enough, according to quotes attributed to him by Times reporters on Twitter who had attended the meeting.
"President-elect Trump should focus on healing the broken justice system, affirm the rule of law and appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the Clinton scandals," Fitton maintained.
The president-elect must affirm the rule of law and appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the Clinton scandals, Fitton concluded.
