With a look at the president elects relationship with the military. We begin with correspondent peter doocy at trump tower tonight. What appears to be a clean slate for his vanquished opponent. Good evening, peter. Reporter good evening, doug. The president elect admitted today that pressing charges against Hillary Clinton could be divisive for the country. But mr. Trump whose supporters have been known to chant lock her up also says that prosecution is still a possibility. This afternoon at the New York Times headquarters in manhattan, donald trump explained to print reporters why hed be hesitant as president to continue probing Hillary Clintons possibly illegal behavior as secretary of state. One times writer president quotes the president elect as saying my inclination would be for whatever power i have on the matter is to say lets go forward. This has been looked at for so long ad nauseam. Another posted this quote attributed to mr. Trump, i dont want to hurt the clintons, i really dont. She went through a lot and suffered greatly in many different ways. That empathy for his former democratic opponent represents a major departure from what he said to her face in the final stretch of the campaign. Its just awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. Because youd be in jail. Reporter one of trumps most visible surrogates, rudy giuliani, says he would still support an investigation into clinton, but that he understands where the president elect is coming from. Look, theres a tradition in american politics that after you win an election, you sort of put things behind you. Reporter but critics are having a hard time stomaching the president elects second guessing. Well, so much for locking her up, i guess. The bottom line is i think the clintons foundation, the whole mess needs to be looked at with an independent view, not a political agenda. Reporter last night, trumps Transition Team posted a Youtube Video where the president elect laid out his initial agenda. Our Transition Team is working very smoothly. Reporter on his list, withdrawing from the transpacific partnership, cleaning up the visa system and adding Cyber Security measures. But notably not on the list, renegotiating nafta, banning muslims from entering the country, or building a wall. A spokesman said today the 2 1 2 minute clip was just a thing for the first day. Back at trump tower, mr. Trump continued meeting with candidates for administration posts. Today, it was congressman Cynthia Loomis from wyoming. Ceo of a Health Policy company. And dr. Ben carson. Mr. Trump tweeted i am seriously considering dr. Ben carson ased head of hud. Ive gotten to know him well. He is a greatly talented person who loves people. Has it been offered, sir . We have had offers, yes. And is it the hud position . I would say that was one of the offers thats on the table. Reporter right now, the president elect is on his plane on his way to his maralago estate in palm beach for thanksgiving with family. When he gets back, we expect highprofile cabinet positions that still havent been filled which is basically all of them to start getting filled. Doug . Peter doocy outside of trump tower. Thank you, peter. Trump seems to be focusing on former military flag officers to run the pentagon and he is already laying out his initial battle plan. National security correspondent Jennifer Griffin has that story tonight from the pentagon. Reporter in a 2 1 2 minute overview, president elect donald trump told pentagon leaders what their marching orders will be on day one of his presidency. Our National Security, i will ask the department of defense and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff to develop a comprehensive plan to protect americas vital infrastructure from Cyber Attacks and all other form of attacks. Reporter during the campaign, the clinton team used trumps words against him in campaign ads and debate talking points. I know more about isis than the generals do, believe me. Reporter now, president elect trump is turning to many of those generals to solve the countrys biggest problems and to potentially run several government agencies. He tapped former threestar army general mike flynn to be his National Security adviser. And appears set to break tradition by appointing a retired fourstar marine general, james mattis to lead the pentagon. Another recently retired fourstar marine general john kelly is being considered to run the department of Homeland Security. Admiral mike rogers who currently serves as head of the nsa is still on active duty with the navy and was interviewed to be director of national intelligence. He currently oversees u. S. Cyber command. For the next administration, cyber warfare and Cyber Defense will be a top priority. Many experts have warned for years that americas critical infrastructure, its power grid, Banking System and transportation grid with vulnerable to Cyber Attacks that could cripple the nation. This is an evolving threat. A challenging threat. And one thing the secretary wants to make sure is that its a threat that we continue to address and adjust our own posture accordingly. Reporter former defense secretary leon panetta raised eyebrows in 2011 during his confirmation hearing when he warned about the possibility of a cyber pearl harbor. U. S. Officials convinced the public in 2003 that a blackout in the northeast of the United States was caused by a downed power line, when, in fact, many experts believe it was the result of a cyber attack that resulted in 11 deaths and 6 billion in damages. Disrupting power for two days. Another priority for the trump administration, according to those familiar with his National Security thinking, will be to escalate the fight against isis and simultaneously rebuild the military after 15 years of nonstop war. An expensive proposition at a time of ever shrinking budgets and concerns about skyrocketing deficits. Doug . Jennifer griffin from the pentagon, thank you, jennifer. Lets talk more about Donald Trumps relationship with the news media. Fox news digital politics editor Chris Stirewalt joins us now. Chris, this is truly one of the more unsusual moves. Mr. Trump calling high ranking executives and influential anchors from all the networks to trump tower for a meeting. As a wise writer once said, they thought were coming in with a haircut but came away with their throats slit. Whats behind this strategy by trump . Well, every president elect throughout history, or at least history of the modern mass media, has a love hate relationship with the press. You want to get your message out. You want people to hear what youre saying in the broadest possible way, but also, of course, you dont want the story shaped in a way thats not flattering to you. So what the president has to offer the press as an inducement is access. If you are nice, if youre fair, if you treat me the way that i think i ought to be treated, then ill let you in. Ill give briefings, i will hold press conferences, i will let you follow me around. And if you dont, ill cut off access rights. We certainly saw this with president obama and his predecessors. And then trump shortly slafr released a video outlining his First Executive actions as a president. This is not the First Administration obviously that has tried to bypass the press. You mentioned the Obama Administration. Great hope, great and persistent hope of every president is to be able to go around the press and talk over the heads of the people here inside the washington bubble to the broader electorate. Get your message out. Now, barack obama tried that at the beginning of his presidency using Youtube Videos and other things. He said he was going to talk directly to voters. In reality, in the end, he needed mass media to get the message out and had to come up with, though at times challenging, and at times contentious, some sort of a working arrangement with the reporters who cover him. But this is a more advanced digital age right now. Were seeing this reporting where people are picking out the news outlets that conform to their views. Can he bypass the press in the way he might be signaling . I think to a greater degree than president obama and certainly when it comes to keeping his base engaged. I think what you will see from President Trump when he is in office is, yes, continued wage his war with the mainstream press, but also to use his social Media Presence and use favored outlets like breitbart and others that have curried favor with him, even part of his administration indirectly, that those folks will carry the message to the core supporters. The challenge for every president , though, isnt how do you talk to your core, its how do your spread your message to a larger audience and get results . Then came todays meeting with the New York Times at the New York Times building which trump initially canceled tweeted i canceled todays meeting. When the terms and conditions of the meeting were changed at the last moment. Not nice. He rescheduled the meeting at the New York Times building. Quite a game of chicken theyre playing. The press needs trump, they need access to cover him. Trump needs the press but he doesnt like their coverage. Hes playing this game of chicken about how far can he go in condemning the establishment press, while at the same time getting the coverage that he needs. I think todays meeting was a reflection of that. Meantime, the public editor of the New York Times recently wrote the paper and media were too tough on trump supporters. The media is at fall for turning his remarks into a krim caricature, that it applied to people who backed him. To that point, the Media Outlets are going wall to wall with coverage of this National PolicyInstitute Meeting at the reagan building over the weekend in washington. A group which describes itself as an independent organization dedicated to the heritage, identity and future of the people of european descent in the United States. Troubling sight of people using doing the hands in a gesture, what do you make of that . Part of trumps claim against the press is that they are saying that even though there have been racist White Nationalists and other troglodytes in our midst for these many years that somehow their rediscovery of these folks since they like trump and are using trump to get attention, so heres the press paying attention to these unsavory characters and in an effort to try to hurt trump in some cases. Trump says, no way, thats no good. And theres an interesting side effect and the interesting side effect is that in an effort to hurt trump or hold out trump for this, we are seeing the normalization to use the favorite phrase of today, of conduct that we previously knew wasnt altright but was, in fact, quasi fascist or White Nationalist or just plain racist and were seeing this behavior become normalized through its coverage. All as part of this effort to try to define trump by some as a White Nationalist, himself. And wheres the coverage raising the question after wheres the coverage of every progressive extremist, carried a protest sign that read bush hitler or george w. With a noose around his neck . Didnt see too much of that. This is smart of the ongoing squirmish between trump and the press. He always said, if you treat me nice, ill be nice to you. Unfortunately for them, the appropriate nature between the press and the president is an adversarial one. People who are in power ought to be led to account and thats our job. Thats what were supposed to do here, make sure people are telling the truth, abiding by their promises and following the rules and that will make for some difficult times in the days ahead. Chris stirewalt. Good to see you. You bet. Philadelphias Police Commissioner says a package that exploded in an apartment included an actual device that was meant to injure. Federal agents are helping the citys bomb squad investigate the incident. A 62yearold man was injured when he opened that package believing it contained an inhaler or other type of medicine. Officials do not consider it an act of terrorism. But there is real concern tonight that terrorism could be coming to a city or town near you. Law enforcement is on alert after a new warning about unconventional attacks in the u. S. Chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge has an update tonight. Reporter this Homeland Security intelligence analysis obtained by fox news was sent to Law Enforcement after the new isis propaganda magazine called on followers to use trunks as weapons, mass casualty attack in france. The president will receive his regular updates. As usual, the president will get a briefing from his National Security team before the holiday about current threats and about all the steps that are being taken to mitigate and counter those threats. Reporter isis inspired terrorists used a rental truck in nice, killing 86 and injuring more than 400, many of them children. While the new isis magazine does not lay out specific targets, Homeland Security officials wrote, the use of two macys thanksgiving day parade images implies the desire of isis to focus on such highprofile holiday events. Mondays arrest of a brooklyn man, naji, a legal permanent resident from yemen, seems to underscore the warning. According to the criminal complaint, naji expressed his support for a similar attack by isis in times square using a garbage truck. Terrorism analysts say the naji case follows a pattern. Most of the arrests are coming as this arrest in new york through the internet. The fbi and others are catching people on the internet saying things they shouldnt say and thus being flagged. So we have to revisit this whole see something Say Something to make it really work. Reporter in advance of the holiday weekend, foxs rick levinthal went behind the scenes with new yorks elite counterterrorism team. We see threats coming from isil, from the magazine where it says the parade will be a good target. We understand that. We accept that. Thats our operating premise each and every day. Reporter after this weeks terrorism arrest in france, disrupting another plot possibly targeting paris, the state department issued a travel alert for u. S. Citizens in europe warning of a, heightened risk of terrorist attacks particularly during the holiday season. The main point that we were trying to convey to potential travelers is to be vigilant. Reporter the Intelligence Community sees terrorism on a spectrum from those who inspired to act by isis, to others who are recruited and directed by the leadership in iraq and syria. Europe have seen both. The majority of plots in the u. S. Have been driven by internet radicalization. Doug . Catherine herridge, thank you, catherine. An intelligence Analysis Firm says theres a high risk that is yn is terrorists will use chemical weapons against civilians and iraqi troops as the fight forcontinues. The firm says isis used chemical weapons at least 52 times in iraq and syria since 2014. A federal audit says the state of new york improperly received as much as 150 million in grants to set up its Obamacare Exchange system.
