Trump: Would Look Into Hillary's Emails as President

GOP front-runner Donald Trump says he'd consider investigating Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server if he's elected president in November.

Appearing Wednesday on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor," Trump said that the statute of limitations will not have expired when the next president takes office. Trump said he doesn't expect Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, to be indicted before the November election because "the Democrat Party is going to protect her."

Host Bill O'Reilly asked how the Democrats could protect Clinton from an FBI investigation, since the FBI is supposed to be "non-corruptible."

"I hope they are not working together," Trump said. "They are humans. And they are people and they do talk, I would imagine. I would like to think that they don't work together. But I would say that she is being protected."

But Clinton can't be protected from the "statute of limitations because on the assumption that somebody else got in, that's a real dangerous situation."

"So, if you were elected, then you would go back in and take a look at it?" O'Reilly asked.

"Well, you have a six-year statute of limitations," Trump said, "And certainly this falls within that period of time. And you certainly have to look at it, very fairly. I would only do something that was 100 percent fair. But certainly that is something that you would look at."
