Trump’s jail threat was a ‘quip,’ campaign says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDonald Trump’s campaign manager is walking back the Republican candidate’s threat during presidential debate to throw Hillary Clinton in jail if he is elected.
Kellyanne Conway says Monday that such a decision isn’t up to Trump. She says Trump’s threat “was a quip.”
Trump made the threat in Sunday’s debate, after Clinton said it’s good that someone with Trump’s temperament isn’t president. Trump responded: “Because you’d be in jail.”
Conway, speaking on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” also stops short of confirming Trump’s vow to appoint a special prosecutor to look into Clinton’s email practices if he becomes president.
Conway says Trump was “channeling the frustration of thousands of voters he hears every day.”
