Donald Trump will not call for further investigations into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server, according to an aide.

The promise to investigate Mrs Clinton's use of the email server was repeated many times during Mr Trump's election campaign, and crowds chanted "lock her up" in response.

He constantly referred to his rival as "crooked Hillary" and during the second Presidential debate he told her: "If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation." 

The Republican had also said that if he was president, she would be in jail.

But now his former campaign manager Kellyanne Conway says the investigation will not be pursued.

"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 the members", she told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" programme.  

Ms Conway said Mrs Clinton still had to face the fact that the majority of Americans did not think she was honest or trustworthy.

"If Donald Trump can help her heal, then perhaps that's a good thing to do," she said.

"I think he's thinking of many different things as he prepares to become the President of the United States and things that sound like the campaign aren't among them."

In an interview with 60 Minutes shortly after his election victory, Mr Trump said he wanted to think about whether to pursue the email issue, and the Justice Department's decision to not recommend charges against her.

In that interview he praised Mrs Clinton for being "very strong and very smart," and said she and Bill Clinton could not have been nicer after the election. 

"She did some bad things, I mean she did some bad things," Mr Trump said.

"I don't want to hurt them. I don't want to hurt them. They're, they're good people. I don't want to hurt them."

Democratic candidate Mrs Clinton blamed her defeat on FBI director James Comey, who announced he was 11 days before the election.

Days before the election Mr Comey announced the new investigation had found no criminal activity, but Mrs Clinton said that by then the damage had been done.

Mrs Clinton had previously admitted that it was a mistake to use a private email server, situated in her New York home, while she was US Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013.

Hundreds of thousands of emails were on the account, some of them containing classified information.
